1940 AAUP Statement on Academic Freedom

Statement of Purpose

Defense of academic freedom is the central purpose of UVU-AAUP. Academic freedom is public trust granted to professors as professionals. Claims to academic freedom are legitimate if the inquiry furthers understanding of the human condition and/or natural process. Autonomy of inquiry, unfettered by political pressure, is the élan vital of the academic enterprise.

education aimed at networking and mutual support. The Conference sponsors an annual symposium on academic freedom issues in Utah.
