"Duties correlative with rights"
At Minding the Campus, ACTA research fellows Erin O'Connor and Maurice Black offer some observations on the meaning of academic freedom, in response to a speech by University of Chicago President Robert J. Zimmer. Whereas Zimmer defines academic freedom solely in terms of the professoriate's freedom from political pressure, O'Connor and Black note that it "is, in fact, a form of professionalism grounded in what the AAUP calls 'duties correlative with rights.'"
Peter Sacks, FIRE's Adam Kissel, John K. Wilson and Candace de Russy also weigh in.
