Academic Freedom Fund

CAUT Council established the CAUT Academic Freedom Fund to aid local associations and CAUT in vigorous defence of academic freedom. The Fund is a "catastrophic insurance" plan to guarantee sufficient resources for any local association or CAUT to sustain defence of academic freedom when a case takes extraordinary resources.

Each member association of CAUT is a member of the Fund. Decisions about awarding money from the Fund follow procedures specified in the Fund's By-law 1.

The Fund relies entirely on donations from member associations and individuals interested in the defence of academic freedom.
