2.011 Institutional Academic Freedom

    1. A joint statement from the American Association of University Professors and the Council for Higher Education declares that “the success of American higher education, including the high regard in which it is held worldwide, is explained in good measure by the observance of academic freedom. This freedom is manifested institutionally.”1   In furtherance of our values of diversity, integrity, and respect, Delta College supports the open, civil exchange of ideas in any setting associated with the College.
    2. An Assembly Member who believes that his or her institutional academic freedom has been violated should use the Senate grievance process.
