Professors are free to express their opinions outside the classroom,
says Jonathan Knight, director of Academic Freedom and Tenure for AAUP,
who adds that there are no known complaints of the professor using the
classroom as a place to push his particular theories. While all of the
unions frequently invoke the traditional AAUP principle of "shared
governance," itself a compromise from the premodern concept that
higher education was constituted as a community of scholars that shared
administrative as well as instructional duties, the reality is that
almost nowhere in the public sector do faculty have a legal or
institutionally sanctioned right to negotiate over issues of governance,
whether through unions or faculty senates. Publishing editors, presidents and executives at such groups trade
stories and strategies about the challenges of digital technology, which
allows entities to publish, but they thumb their noses at the peer
review and standards required by an AAUP affiliate. |
