‘As far as meaningful apologies go, this is one of the best ones I’ve seen from a college.
Arizona’s Maricopa County Community College District not only apologized for trampling on the academic freedom of a Scottsdale Community College professor, but promised an “immediate independent investigation” into its handling of the situation.
It’s also creating a “Committee on Academic Freedom” to ensure that the district’s “longstanding commitment to the value of inclusion” does not come at the expense of academic freedom.
The Monday announcement from interim Chancellor Steven Gonzales came four days after the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education warned SCC that its actions were “flatly inconsistent” with its First Amendment obligations and would chill faculty expression.’ https://www.thecollegefix.com/public-college-backs-off-threat-to-censor-professors-course-on-islamist-violence-after-legal-warning/
