Academic Responsibilities. Academic freedom carries with it correlative responsibilities. The faculty member has the responsibility to colleagues and the College community to preserve intellectual honesty in teaching and research. The faculty member respects the free inquiry of associates and avoids interference in their work. The parties recognize that adherence to the complementary concepts of academic freedom and academic responsibility will most nearly ensure that the greatest contributions to the several Colleges will be made by their most valuable resource, the faculty. The college or university teacher is a citizen and a member of a learned profession affiliated with an educational institution. When the faculty member speaks or writes as a citizen, such activities should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but the faculty member's special position in the community imposes special obligations. As a person of learning, affiliated with an educational institution, the faculty member should remember that the public may judge the teaching profession and the faculty member's utterances. Hence, the faculty member should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinion of others, and should make every effort to indicate when the faculty member is not an institutional spokesperson. Institutions of higher education are committed to the search for truth and knowledge and to contributing to the solution of problems and controversies by the method of rational discussion.
