Resolution in Support of Academic Freedom. This resolution was adopted by vote of the membership in November 2006
The Pacific Sociological Association, cognizant of the attacks on both academic freedom and civil liberties, hereby reaffirms its commitment to the principles of academic freedom and civil liberties generally, and goes on record that we strongly support the AAUP (2005) position concerning academic freedom; Accordingly, our professional association shall vigorously resist any and all attacks on both academic freedom and civil liberties. Further, we pledge our commitment as a professional association, to stand in opposition to those who strive to limit such protections, whether as individuals or through their organizations, and to provide solidarity with faculty and students alike who may become the targets of such campaigns.
