 Academic freedom is the indispensable requisite for unfettered teaching  and research in institutions of higher education. As the academic  community's core policy document states, "institutions of higher  education are conducted for the common good and not to further the  interest of either the individual teacher or the institution as a whole.  The common good depends upon the free search for truth and its free  exposition" (1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure, which has been endorsed by more than 250 national scholarly and educational associations).

Since its founding, the AAUP has been ensuring meaningful faculty participation in institutional governance. Its 1966 Statement on Government of Colleges and Universities is the "gold standard" having been jointly formulated with the American Council  on Education representing university and college Presidents and the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges representing trustees and regents.  This statement calls for shared responsibility among the different  components of institutional government and specifies areas of primary  responsibility for governing boards, administrations, and faculties.  Over 1500 colleges and universities have adopted this statement.
