Academic freedom

1. Academic freedom brings a duty to be responsible and honest in searching for and disseminating knowledge and truth. It includes the freedom to make informed comment on social mores and practice and in challenging beliefs, policies and structures.
2. Faculty and staff members may contribute to public debate as concerned citizens.
3. Faculty members writing or speaking publicly in professional or expert capacities may identify themselves by their WU appointment or qualifications and may, for that purpose, use the name of WU on condition that they clarify that any views expressed are their own.
4. Faculty and staff members commenting publicly on issues other than in professional or expert capacities must do so from private addresses and should not use the name of WU, or otherwise identify themselves with WU.
