What constitutes academic freedom? This strikes me as maximalist: "Freedom to teach includes: Freedom to determine what shall be taught (course content); freedom to determine how it shall be taught (pedagogy); freedom to determine who shall teach (via transparent selection procedures); freedom to determine whom shall be taught (the right to determine and enforce entry standards); freedom to determine how students' progress shall be evaluated (assessment methods); freedom to determine whether students shall progress (via marking criteria and grade determination)." I mean, I suppose anybody can have those freedoms (I'm not going to stop them) but it's not clear this is something we as a society want to be paying for.
