This institution is committed to assuring full academic freedom to all faculty. Confident in the qualifications and expertise of its faculty members, the School encourages its faculty members to exercise their individual judgments regarding the content of the assigned courses, organization of topics and instructional methods, providing only that these judgments are made within the context of the course descriptions as currently published, and providing that the instructional methods are those official sanctioned by the institution.
This institution's ownership believes that the most important diversity that can accrue to the benefit of students is the diversity of thought that results from free discussion, the open expression of view-points and opinions on the subject matter at hand, and the diversity of thought that results from the free exercise of research and original thinking in the academic fields related to the institution’s course offerings.
This institution, therefore, supports and encourages instructors and students to engage in discussion and dialog. Students and faculty members alike are encouraged to freely express views as long as they believe it would advance understanding in the specialized discipline being studied. |
