“Intellectual Freedom is the right of every individual to both seek and receive information from all points of view without restriction. "It provides for free access to all expressions of ideas through which any and all sides of a question, cause or movement may be explored. Intellectual freedom encompasses the freedom to hold, receive and disseminate ideas.” |
| Franklin Delano Roosevelt: "The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the government." |
"By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right implies also a duty: one must not conceal any part of what on has recognized to be true. It is evident that any restriction on academic freedom acts in such a way as to hamper the dissemination of knowledge among the people and thereby impedes national judgment and action."
-- Albert Einstein |

The most important aspect of freedom of speech is freedom to learn. All education is a continuous dialogue - questions and answers that
pursue every problem on the horizon. That is the essence of academic freedom.”
William Orville Douglas
