STATEMENT ON ACADEMIC FREEDOM
The Governing Council adopted the Mittelman
Resolution on academic freedom at the 2007 ISA Annual Convention in
Chicago. It reads as follows:
Whereas there are several pressures on academic
freedom that threaten to undermine the free exchange of ideas,
Whereas efforts to intimidate members of our profession contribute
to intolerance in institutions dedicated to the pursuit of truth
and the production of knowledge,
Be it resolved that the Governing Council of the International
Studies Association reaffirms its commitment to a broad
interpretation of freedom of expression, inquiry, and
dissemination of research in the United States and overseas. The
International Studies Association will defend this freedom, which
confers both rights and obligations on our professional community.
