List for Academic Freedom FPN
List for Academic Freedom and Institutional Neutrality stands for a university that:
- Embraces viewpoint diversity and dissent, and recognises these as the pillars of knowledge production.
- Facilitates honest and unconstrained academic debate, while protecting the members of the community from intimidation and discrimination.
- Remains politically neutral. A university that takes a position on political issues inherently inhibits the freedom of dissent it should embrace.
- Allows its employees to collaborate with relevant academic and societal partners, free from political interference from students, colleagues, the board, or the government.
By safeguarding these principles, we can preserve our unique role as producers of knowledge for the improvement of society.
