Colleagues, On behalf of the UFS’s Academic Freedom Committee, I am pleased to announce that we are available to make a tailored, live online presentation at your campus about academic freedom at CUNY. The purpose of the presentation is to educate the CUNY campus community--focusing on faculty and faculty leaders as an ideal audience--about our academic freedom rights and our responsibility to protect these rights. The following topics will be covered through a Zoom, Power Point presentation: 1. What is academic freedom (AF)? 2. Why should everyone care about AF? 3. Why is AF important at CUNY? 4. Historic examples of AF violations 5. AF and students (undergrad/grad) 6. AF violations: what to do? 7. Questions? If you are interested in bringing this presentation to your campus, please reach out directly to me, Douglas A. Medina at douglas.medina@guttman.cuny.edu<mailto:douglas.medina@guttman.cuny.edu> As a faculty leader at your campus, we request that you consider the following before scheduling a presentation before the end of the current semester: 1. Can you guarantee an audience of 10 or more faculty? 2. Are you flexible in scheduling a time/day for the presentation which includes time for Q&A?” If you have any questions as you consider inviting us to your campus, do not hesitate to reach out to me.
