Academic Freedom
The responsibility of Charles Sturt University to maintain and extend academic inquiry or academic freedom is a fundamental responsibility established under the University statute. The right to freedom of intellectual inquiry and associated responsibilities are referred to in:
- the CSU Code of Conduct for Staff (Section 3)
- the Generic Responsibilities of CSU Staff (Section 4)
- the Policy on Standards, Expectations and Qualifications of Academic Staff (Section 3)
- the CSU policy on the governance and management of media relations within the University
Awareness of policies on freedom of intellectual inquiry is supported by the CSU Induction and Development Program, the Academic Staff Probation Policy and Academic Staff Probation Procedures.
The CSU Enterprise Agreement 2005-2008 (Section 10 and availability of agreement covered in Section 11) also refers to academic freedom and associated rights and duties.
