Fully committed to the values of freedom of inquiry in support of its educational mission, Brooks Institute subscribes to the following statement representing its view of academic freedom and responsibility:

Academic Freedom is the freedom for all to discuss all relevant matters in the classroom, to explore all avenues of scholarship, research and creative expression and to speak or write as a public citizen. Academic Responsibility implies the faithful performance of academic duties and obligations, the recognition of the demands of the teaching profession and scholarly enterprise and the candor to make it clear that the individual is not speaking for the institution in matters of public interest particularly in areas of politics and commercial endorsements.
