STATEMENT ON ACADEMIC FREEDOM. Academic freedom and its attendant responsibilities are essential to the fulfillment of the purposes of the College. Consistent with this statement:
STATEMENT ON ACADEMIC FREEDOM. Academic freedom is a special freedom, necessary to the mission of professors in a university. Professional responsibility is its logical correlative. As individuals, professors have the responsibility to conduct themselves in ways that will promote the achievement of the purposes for which academic freedom exists. And as members of a profession possessed of certain rights of self- government, university professors as a group have an obligation to keep their house in order and to take such steps as may be necessary to the fulfillment of their professional mission. The responsibilities of a faculty member fall into the following four main areas:
STATEMENT ON ACADEMIC FREEDOM. Academic freedom is based on the current AAUP Statement of Principles and Interpretive Comments on Academic Freedom and Tenure and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of this statement shall be kept on file in each college library.
STATEMENT ON ACADEMIC FREEDOM. Prologue A member of the learned profession shares the full protection afforded to all individuals by the Constitution of the United States of America, including the Bill of Rights, and as scholar and teacher he or she enjoys the rights and obligations inherent in the traditional concept of academic freedom. As a scholar, he or she is entitled to freedom (except as hereinafter provided) to select and undertake research projects and to publish the findings thereof. As a teacher, he or she is entitled to freedom (except as hereinafter provided) to teach within his special competence in accordance with his or her informed opinions and convictions. In return for these guarantees, the scholar and the teacher owe unlimited allegiance to the pursuit of truth and understanding. In modern practice, academic freedom also accords to fully qualified teachers, subject to few exceptions, full and final discretion in determining the teaching methods and subject matter of the courses they are assigned to teach. The distinction between the fully qualified teacher and other teachers is generally indicated by probationary or permanent status, which is in turn related to professional rank. It is important to note that academic freedom applies equally to all members of the learned profession except that, normally, only “fully qualified” teachers have full and final discretion in determining the teaching methods and subject matter of the courses they are assigned to teach. The entire faculty of the College has the responsibility for determining what courses shall be offered in accordance with the College’s general educational plans and objectives as fixed by the trustees. ● Academic freedom relates to the right of society to the fruits of scholarship and teaching and the right of the scholar and teacher to search for truth and understanding without interference and to disseminate his findings without intimidation. Commitments of any kind that interfere with an individual’s free and unbiased pursuit of truth and understanding are incompatible with the objectives of academic freedom, and no person so committed may, therefore, enjoy its rights. Nevertheless, association with or membership in any group or organization shall not in itself constitute prima facie disqualification from participation in a free and unbiased pursuit of truth and understanding and shall not in itself constitute sufficient grounds for disqualification from participation in a free and unbiased pursuit of tru...

  • How Are Contributions to a Xxxx XXX Reported for Federal Tax Purposes You must file Form 5329 with the IRS to report and remit any penalties or excise taxes. In addition, certain contribution and distribution information must be reported to the IRS on Form 8606 (as an attachment to your federal income tax return.)

  • How Are Distributions from a Xxxx XXX Taxed for Federal Income Tax Purposes Amounts distributed to you are generally excludable from your gross income if they (i) are paid after you attain age 59½, (ii) are made to your beneficiary after your death, (iii) are attributable to your becoming disabled, (iv) subject to various limits, the distribution is used to purchase a first home or, in limited cases, a second or subsequent home for you, your spouse, or you or your spouse’s grandchild or ancestor, or (v) are rolled over to another Xxxx XXX. Regardless of the foregoing, if you or your beneficiary receives a distribution within the five-taxable-year period starting with the beginning of the year to which your initial contribution to your Xxxx XXX applies, the earnings on your account are includable in taxable income. In addition, if you roll over (convert) funds to your Xxxx XXX from another individual retirement plan (such as a Traditional IRA or another Xxxx XXX into which amounts were rolled from a Traditional IRA), the portion of a distribution attributable to rolled-over amounts which exceeds the amounts taxed in connection with the conversion to a Xxxx XXX is includable in income (and subject to penalty tax) if it is distributed prior to the end of the five-tax-year period beginning with the start of the tax year during which the rollover occurred. An amount taxed in connection with a rollover is subject to a 10% penalty tax if it is distributed before the end of the five-tax-year period. As noted above, the five-year holding period requirement is measured from the beginning of the five-taxable-year period beginning with the first taxable year for which you (or your spouse) made a contribution to a Xxxx XXX on your behalf. Previously, the law required that a separate five-year holding period apply to regular Xxxx XXX contributions and to amounts contributed to a Xxxx XXX as a result of the rollover or conversion of a Traditional IRA. Even though the holding period requirement has been simplified, it may still be advisable to keep regular Xxxx XXX contributions and rollover/ conversion Xxxx XXX contributions in separate accounts. This is because amounts withdrawn from a rollover/conversion Xxxx XXX within five years of the rollover/conversion may be subject to a 10% penalty tax. As noted above, a distribution from a Xxxx XXX that complies with all of the distribution and holding period requirements is excludable from your gross income. If you receive a distribution from a Xxxx XXX that does not comply with these rules, the part of the distribution that constitutes a return of your contributions will not be included in your taxable income, and the portion that represents earnings will be includable in your income. For this purpose, certain ordering rules apply. Amounts distributed to you are treated as coming first from your non-deductible contributions. The next portion of a distribution is treated as coming from amounts which have been rolled over (converted) from any non-Xxxx IRAs in the order such amounts were rolled over. Any remaining amounts (including all earnings) are distributed last. Any portion of your distribution which does not meet the criteria for exclusion from gross income may also be subject to a 10% penalty tax. Note that to the extent a distribution would be taxable to you, neither you nor anyone else can qualify for capital gains treatment for amounts distributed from your account. Similarly, you are not entitled to the special five- or ten- year averaging rule for lump-sum distributions that may be available to persons receiving distributions from certain other types of retirement plans. Rather, the taxable portion of any distribution is taxed to you as ordinary income. Your Xxxx XXX is not subject to taxes on excess distributions or on excess amounts remaining in your account as of your date of death. You must indicate on your distribution request whether federal income taxes should be withheld on a distribution from a Xxxx XXX. If you do not make a withholding election, we will not withhold federal or state income tax. Note that, for federal tax purposes (for example, for purposes of applying the ordering rules described above), Xxxx IRAs are considered separately from Traditional IRAs.

  • CFR PART 200 AND FEDERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS EXPLANATION TIPS and TIPS Members will sometimes seek to make purchases with federal funds. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. Part 200 of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (sometimes referred to as “XXXXX”),Vendor's response to the following questions labeled "2 CFR Part 200 or Federal Provision" will indicate Vendor's willingness and ability to comply with certain requirements which may be applicable to TIPS purchases paid for with federal funds, if accepted by Vendor. Your responses to the following questions labeled "2 CFR Part 200 or Federal Provision" will dictate whether TIPS can list this awarded contract as viable to be considered for a federal fund purchase. Failure to certify all requirements labeled "2 CFR Part 200 or Federal Provision" will mean that your contract is listed as not viable for the receipt of federal funds. However, it will not prevent award. If you do enter into a TIPS Sale when you are accepting federal funds, the contract between you and the TIPS Member will likely require these same certifications.
