Sample text
The 1940 “Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure” (AAUP 37 38 Jennie Hornosty 1990) sets out principles to guarantee intellectual freedom in research, teaching, publication, and extramural communication. Subsequent policies incorporated these basic values. For example, the “Policy Statement on Academic Freedom” (CAUT 1977) states that principles of academic freedom confer on academic staff the freedom to teach and to discuss, freedom to carry out research and publish the results, freedom to exercise their legal rights as citizens without jeopardizing their academic status, freedom to criticize the university and faculty association, and freedom from institutional censorship.
In Canada, then, an academic freedom claim would assert that something not generally protected – the right to deny the existence of the Holocaust in public communication – would become protected when done by an academic, precisely because of the features of academic life that academics claim justify the special immunity or special privilege of academic freedom. But because in the United States everybody has this right, the issue does not come up. So, one way of characterizing this strand of academic freedom in the context of the United States, in the specific context of an exemption from what otherwise would be the constitutionally permissible restrictions on speech for citizens, might be to say that there is no academic freedom in the United States, but that does not matter.
For example, there are now active debates about academic freedom in South Africa. But in South Africa, the debates are not so much about the prerogatives of individual faculty members, or the prerogatives of departments, or the prerogatives of disciplines, as they are about the universities’ autonomy from general political control; that is, in South Africa, the debate is about whether universities should be viewed as other bureaucracies and other departments in a parliamentary system and, therefore, subject to the directives of parliamentary authority.
