Senate Committee on Academic Freedom & Responsibility

There shall be a Senate Committee on Academic Freedom and Responsibility consisting of ten members, including the Chair-Elect, and nine members of the Senate, three to be elected each year. No one shall serve on the Senate Committee on Academic Freedom and Responsibility who is a member of any other faculty committee on academic freedom and responsibility, a member of the Grievance Commission or Hearings List, the chair of a department, or a member of the administation of any school or of the University. In the event the Chair-Elect is disqualified for any of these reasons, the Chair-Elect shall remain a non-voting member.

The Committee on Academic Freedom and Responsibility shall maintain a current list of the standing committees on academic freedom and responsibility of each of the faculties of the University and, where necessary, take appropriate steps to cause such committees to be appointed in each of the faculties of the University. The Senate Committee on Academic Freedom and Responsibility shall advise and consult with such committees and administrative officers on the establishment of appropriate procedures to be followed in the event of a claim of violation of academic freedom or responsibility. The Senate Committee on Academic Freedom and Responsibility shall have power to make investigations, reports, and recommendations on any matter relating to academic freedom and responsibility within the University.
