Academic Freedom

The college is committed to the freedom of professional employees to investigate, to discuss, to publish, or to teach content in their discipline without censorship or restraint except for the restraint implied by the standards of professional ethics of the discipline involved. With this freedom, professional employees assume the responsibility to keep in mind that the public may judge the teaching profession and Colby Community College by what the professional employee says on or off campus. For this reason, professional employees should strive to be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that he/she is not an institutional spokesperson.
