Section 2.1 of the Faculty Handbook states:
Faculty and students are entitled to full freedom in research, in publication of the results of research, and in extra-collegiate activities (with the stipulation that they continue to perform their academic duties satisfactorily). Instructors are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject matter, but should be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to the subject. College instructors are citizens, members of learned professions, and officers of an educational institution. When speaking or writing as citizens, they should be free from institutional censorship, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence, they should at all times be accurate, exercise appropriate restraint, show respect for the opinions of others, and make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution. Academic freedom is the right of all members of the faculty, tenured or not tenured.
