L-NU’s Policy Supporting Academic Freedom in Research and Teaching

Lyceum-Northwestern University (L-NU) upholds a clear and comprehensive policy that protects and promotes academic freedom for all members of its academic community. This policy ensures that both senior and junior academics have the autonomy to choose their areas of research, pursue scholarly inquiry without undue interference, and openly disseminate and discuss their findings within and beyond the university.

L-NU guarantees research freedom, allowing faculty members to explore topics relevant to their disciplines, societal needs, and emerging global issues. This freedom encourages innovation, critical inquiry, and evidence-based contributions to knowledge and development.

The policy also ensures teaching freedom, empowering faculty members to teach, discuss, and engage with academic content consistent with professional standards, ethical principles, and curricular frameworks. This autonomy fosters a dynamic learning environment where diverse perspectives and scholarly discourse are encouraged.

By safeguarding academic freedom, L-NU reinforces its commitment to integrity in research, quality in teaching, and the advancement of knowledge for the benefit of society.
