"Academic Bill of Rights"/"Intellectual Diversity" 2007
Visit the Free Exchange on Campus's Legislative Tracker for updates on state legislation.
The Missouri House of Representatives passed a bill (H 213) which ostensibly “ensure[s] intellectual diversity and the free exchange of ideas." The AAUP opposes this bill because it threatens to impose legislative oversight on the professional judgment of faculty and to deprive academic institutions of their authority from making decisions that are central to their academic purpose.
