Webinar: Exploring Faculty Perspectives on Academic Freedom – Mar 4
Posted by American Association of Colleges and Universities on February 11, 2025
Academic freedom and civil discourse are essential for enabling faculty to explore controversial topics, encourage diverse perspectives, and maintain environments of open inquiry. However, mounting ideological polarization and legislative actions have made it more important than ever to understand the effects of this climate on faculty attitudes and perceptions regarding their roles as educators, scholars, and colleagues.
This webinar will explore findings from the recent report, Academic Freedom and Civil Discourse in Higher Education: A National Study of Faculty Attitudes and Perceptions. This national survey, conducted by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), in partnership with the American Association of University Professors and NORC at the University of Chicago, highlights faculty experiences and attitudes on freedom of expression, self-censorship, and civil discourse. The webinar will provide actionable strategies for colleges and universities to deepen their commitment to academic freedom and civil discourse. It will highlight key recommendations for promoting institutional engagement, facilitating meaningful dialogue, and aligning these efforts with the broader goal of ensuring that our colleges and universities serve the common good.
