Academic Rights and Responsibilities

Middle Georgia State University is committed to intellectual pluralism and academic freedom. The university recognizes that there are rights and responsibilities that exist concomitant with the academic freedoms underpinning the professional work of its faculty.

Accordingly, Middle Georgia State University operates under the principles of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) articulated in the 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure (with 1970 Interpretive Comments), which can be found here on the AAUP website: http://www.aaup.org/report/1940-statement-principles-academic-freedom-and-tenure.
