Academic Freedom

The University of Mary Washington vigorously supports freedom of inquiry and expres­sion within the academic community.  All members of that community have a fundamental right to follow their interests and to express their views privately and publicly without censorship, constrained only by the laws of the Common­wealth of Virginia, the laws of the United States, and respect for the property and person of others.  While the University may institute regulations to ensure the orderly ex­pression of ideas and to protect the resources needed for productive inquiry, any member of the University community shall not interpret the regulations in a way which restricts freedom of inquiry and expression.

The University of Mary Washington has adopted the Statement on Academic Freedom of the Association of American Colleges (1941), and the American Association of University Professors' statement on Freedom and Responsibility (1970).  These state­ments and the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States define the parameters of academic freedom in the University of Mary Washington Community.
