The Washington Times: Temple looks right on academic rights
Temple University responded to complaints about left-wing bias by beefing up its academic-rights policy, handing the academic-freedom movement the biggest victory of its three-year history.
The school’s Board of Trustees adopted Thursday a three-page document titled “Student and Faculty Academic Rights and Responsibilities,” which includes provisions protecting students from ideological discrimination and outlining grievance procedures against faculty bias.
David Horowitz, the conservative writer spearheading the academic-freedom movement, applauded the board, saying the decision makes Temple, in Philadelphia, the first university to “address student rights and not just faculty privilege.”
