ACADEMIC FREEDOM SURVEY
Around the world today, scholars are attacked because of their words, their ideas and their place in society. Those seeking power and control work to limit access to information and new ideas by targeting scholars, restricting academic freedom and repressing research, publication, teaching and learning. The Scholars at Risk Network (SAR) is an international network of universities and colleges responding to these attacks. SAR promotes academic freedom and defends the human rights of scholars and their communities worldwide.
The Scholars at Risk Network is pleased to share with you a new online"Academic Freedom Opinion Survey." The survey seeks to collect information on levels of respect for academic freedom and related values from faculty, students, staff, administrators and alumni at higher education institutions worldwide.
You are invited to complete the survey by visiting http://scholarsatrisk.nyu.edu/survey07. All responses are confidential. You also are invited to help generate better results by sharing the survey with friends and colleagues.
Preliminary responses will be discussed at the April 13-14, 2007 meeting in San Francisco with the intention to process full responses during the summer, for release as a report next fall.
