Academic freedom and tenure in a church-related university
Bohall, Steven T Indiana University 2005 해외박사(DDOD)
The concept of academic freedom has been, and remains, essential to the academic life of the modern American university. Yet, academic tenure, which was established to protect academic freedom, is being made available to an increasingly smaller proportion of faculty. The question arises, how does this affect the academic freedom of those within institutions undergoing these changes?. The health of academic freedom in pervasively religious church-related universities may be unclear, particularly when intellectual freedom is promoted, but in an atmosphere of curricular coherence and creedal assumptions. The problem at hand, then, is the possibility of a weakened concept of academic freedom in institutions where the protection of tenure is not offered, especially within the category of church-related schools where there is an inherent tension concerning the search for truth. The purpose of this case study research was to understand how the faculty members of a church-related university defined the concept of academic freedom and perceived its protection under differing tenure arrangements. Of special interest were the methods by which faculty created and maintained a sense of freedom through the elimination of cognitive dissonance. This qualitative case study tells the story of eight full-time faculty members, half of whom hold tenure. The site was a small, pervasively religious, church-related university in the Midwest. Additional participants included the President of the university, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and two members of that board. The findings warranted the following six conclusions: (1) faculty members, both tenured and untenured, held a narrow definition of academic freedom, (2) most limitations to academic freedom were identified as self-imposed, (3) current assurance of academic freedom is not based on written policy, but upon the trustworthiness of the top administrators, (4) the most valued aspect of tenure is job security, (5) due to the church-relatedness of the university, a tension exists between faculty academic freedom and institutional mission, and, (6) faculty members have adjusted their perceptions of freedom primarily by focusing on faith issues.
