Handbook
Section L
ACADEMIC
FREEDOM
Earlham College undertakes to provide in every way
for a teacher’s freedom to investigate, teach and publish the
truth as one sees it.
Earlham encourages teachers to feel full freedom in
the design of their courses and the exposition of course material,
considering it an important condition for a vital intellectual community.
Even while they may advocate positions, teachers may not use their
authority, including grading, to insist that students hold particular
views. Outside the classroom teachers are encouraged to express their
opinions with clarity and vigor. On those occasions where faculty
members make public comments or write about issues clearly at odds
with known policies and positions of the College, they should make
it clear that they are not representing the college. |
