| CAUT responds to AUCC's new academic freedom statement |
| (Friday, November 04, 2011)
- In an open letter to the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, CAUT raises serious concerns about the organization's revised statement on academic freedom issued in October 2011 on the of AUCC’s 100th Anniversary. The 2011 AUCC Statement on Academic Freedom is the first change to its position on academic freedom since 1988. CAUT’s open letter is highly critical noting “There is a certain perverse irony that AUCC chose its 100th Anniversary to attempt to undo many of the advances that have been achieved in the understanding of academic freedom over the past 100 years.” |
