The article from the APA Mini-Series Blog emphasizes the significance of academic freedom for faculty and students alike, especially in light of recent attacks on this freedom. It argues for a broader understanding of academic freedom that includes freedom of discussion and recognizes students as holders of their own academic rights. Academic freedom is framed as a necessary condition for the pursuit of knowledge and open dialogue within academic communities, which has come under threat from external political forces.
The focus on academic freedom primarily for faculty can overlook the importance of students also having their own form of academic freedom within educational communities.
Free discussion within academic institutions is crucial. It fosters positive liberty and underpins the essence of true academic freedom, extending beyond just faculty to students.
