faculty rights

Faculty rights refer to the protections and entitlements that ensure educators can perform their roles effectively, fairly, and without undue interference. These include academic freedom to research and teach openly, fair treatment in hiring, promotion, and evaluation processes, freedom from unfair disciplinary actions, and the right to advocate for policies or changes. They also encompass participation in decision-making and access to due process if disputes arise. These rights are designed to support a professional, respectful environment that fosters integrity, innovation, and the effective dissemination of knowledge.
