  10. Fundamental FCCC Positions • Academic Freedom • “The responsibility of the university as a whole is to the community at large, and any restriction upon the freedom of the instructor is bound to react injuriously upon the efficiency and the morale of the institution, and therefore ultimately upon the interests of the community. (AAUP)

It is one of the cornerstones of a sustainable democracy.

  12. Fundamental FCCC Positions • Assessment • Sound assessment practices are best developed locally by the faculty and should be used to improve teaching and learning.
