ACADEMIC FREEDOM, EVALUATION, PROBATION, AND TENURE. A. Academic Freedom 1. A faculty member is entitled to full freedom in research and publication, subject to the adequate performance of the member’s other academic duties. Faculty participating in research for profit will inform the College Administration. 2. A faculty member is entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing his/her subject expertise. Controversial subject matter is acceptable if it relates to the subject area or the Mission of the College. 3. The faculty member is a citizen, a member of a learned profession, and an officer of an educational institution. He/She may speak or write free of institutional censorship or discipline, while at the same time keeping in mind that the public might judge the profession and the College by his/her words.

If the administration decides that a faculty member has not followed Section A. 3., Academic Freedom, above, and that the extramural utterances of the faculty member have raised grave doubts concerning fitness for his/her position, the College may proceed to file charges under the faculty dismissal procedure (Article 15) in accord with the faculty’s individual rights as a citizen.
