An interesting article on what academic freedom does and does
not do.å Two in the "does not do" list are of
interest.
This reminds me of what our university council told me years ago -
you cannot break the law under the cloak of academic freedom.å At
that time, I was being confronted by faculty members who did not
think that they were bound by state employee regulations (they
thought only staff had to adhere to those). The lawyer had to come
to a faculty meeting to tell the department that, "Yes, you are a
state employee".
5. Academic freedom does not protect faculty members from non-university penalties if they break the law.
12. Academic freedom does not protect a faculty member from investigations into allegations of scientific misconduct or violations of sound university policies, nor from appropriate penalties should such charges be sustained in a hearing of record before an elected faculty body.https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2010/12/21/defining-academic-freedom
Thrasher said Clemson was also unique in exposing students to TFE, which made them better prepared for jobs at places like Chemours, where Parrish landed his position.
