Academic Freedom Alliance

The Academic Freedom Alliance is an alliance of college and university faculty members who are dedicated to upholding the principle of academic freedom. This principle is central to the mission of our institutions for the pursuit of truth and knowledge. Our members from across the political spectrum recognize that an attack on academic freedom anywhere is an attack on academic freedom everywhere.

The AFA, in appropriate circumstances, provides aid for legal support to members whose constitutional, statutory, contractual, or other legally protected rights relating to academic freedom have been violated or are under threat.
