Academic Freedom

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is dedicated to the transmission and advancement of knowledge and understanding. Academic freedom is essential to the achievement of these purposes. The University therefore supports and encourages freedom of inquiry for faculty members and students, to the end that they may responsibly pursue these goals through teaching, learning, research, discussion, and publication, free from internal or external restraints that unreasonably restrict their academic endeavors. The official University policy can be found in the UNC Charlotte Tenure Policies, Regulations, and Procedures, at www.uncc.edu/unccatty/tenurepol.html#1.
