If anyone is interested, here's the University of Colorado's policy on academic freedom:

Quote:
Academic freedom and diverse viewpoints are highly valued at the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center. The Laws of the Board of Regents of the University of Colorado specify that:
(1) “The University of Colorado was created and is maintained to afford men and women a liberal education in the several branches of literature, arts, sciences, and the professions. These aims can be achieved only in that atmosphere of free inquiry and discussion, which has become a tradition of universities and is called “academic freedom. . . . Within the bounds of this definition, academic freedom requires that members of the faculty must have complete freedom to study, to learn, to do research, and to communicate the results of these pursuits to others. The students likewise must have freedom of study and discussion. The fullest exposure to conflicting opinions is the best insurance against error. . . . All members of the academic community have a responsibility to protect the university as a forum for the free expression of ideas.”
