stinky, somebody told me that the University of Mississippi's faculty handbook acknowledged at least some of the AAUP principles. Were they mistaken?
The Ole Miss Faculty Handbook lists ten AAUP principles under its post- tenure review policies. This statement and those 10 AAUP principles can be found on the Ole Miss website:

"B. The following principles from the American Association of University Professors shall be considered a part of the University's post-tenure review policy, and all procedures developed and actions taken shall be in accordance with these principles."

I went into the UM website and read the ten principles. The first one refers to the AAUP's 1940 document and reads "Post-tenure review must ensure the protection of academic freedom as defined in the 1940 Statement of Principles. The application of its procedures, therefore, should not intrude on an individual faculty member's proper sphere of professional self-direction, nor should it be used as a subterfuge for effecting programmatic change. Such a review must not become the occasion for a wide-ranging fishing expedition in an attempt to dredge up negative evidence."


Do those who write those negative letters to the editor realize that even UM acknowledges a mechanism designed to "ensure protection of acdemic freedom"?

AAUP principles are also included in the section on the termination of tenured faculty. The Ole Miss faculty handbook is excellent. It may have been revised as part of their review for Phi Beta Kappa. The University of Mississippi aspires to be a national university.

All of this suggests to me that those characterize AAUP as a union of radicals don't have the foggiest idea what a good university is all about. AAUP principles are good for Ole Miss but not good for USM?

Sounds like a Letter to the Editor to me.

Interesting that this thread got kicked.  Looks like Doty has "Saved the Last Dance" for CoB Staff.  Ask around.
