	Statement of Academic Freedom
		Academic freedom applies to the activities of faculty and students that are closely related to or impact upon the educational, scholarly, and research purposes of universities.
		Academic freedom carries with it a concomitant responsibility of scholars to resist corrupting influences on their research and teaching, to transcend partisanship and prejudice, and to foster intellectually vigorous and open discussion within the classroom, adhering to the highest norms and standards of scholarly inquiry and teaching.
		Academic freedom requires the institutional autonomy of universities, which enables them to preserve the human record of knowledge and ideas, to advance the discovery and interpretation of new knowledge, to educate students, and to serve the larger society.

		GAVIN BROWN, VICE-CHANCELLOR, SYDNEY UNIVERSITY: The industrial relations thing in particular are a whole series of fetishes, which bear no resemblance to anything that matters to me in terms of my industrial relations environment.
		DAVID HARDAKER: Gavin Brown is the vice-chancellor of Australia's oldest tertiary institution, Sydney University.
		GAVIN BROWN: That was the Government's announcement on Monday afternoon for a whole series of intensely prescriptive measures in connection with industrial relations, which make it almost impossible for us to conduct enterprise bargaining without intense Government interference.

	'A climate of fear': from collegiality to corporatisation, by Bob Bessant
		Academic staff who were mostly recruited from Britain tried to apply the British and European traditions to the Australian scene, but this was difficult due to the manner in which these universities were constituted, their dependence on government grants and their lack of development of any close relationships with their local communities.
		Academic freedom was also seen to be threatened because the new structures were "top down." There was a worry that academics would be told what to teach and what to research.
		Those academics who have any regret at their demise are accused of harkening back to an era ‘which did not have academic freedom or autonomy anyway’.

	- NewsEvents - The University of Auckland
		Dr Gavin Brown, who graduated this year with a PhD in Education from The University of Auckland, surveyed more than 500 primary school teachers throughout New Zealand to develop a tool to understand teachers’ views of assessment for his doctoral studies.
		Dr Brown says one of the implications of his research is the finding that imposing a policy on schools to test every child could backfire as many teachers would view it as unhelpful or irrelevant.
		Dr Brown, who has worked as a secondary and tertiary teacher and is now Senior Project Manager of the Assessment Tools for Teaching and Learning (asTTle) project, says an interesting finding in his research was that the level of training teachers receive in assessment does not influence their views on assessment.

	The Hon Dr Brendan Nelson MP - Media Centre
		I would have thought that Sydney's University's Professor Gavin Brown, for instance, would be one vice-chancellor that you'd respect.
		If, for example, not a single academic at Sydney University or other universities signs a workplace agreement or wants to work under those conditions, so long as it has been offered to them and they understand what's available to them, then I and the Government would be very satisfied.
		It's ironic I would suggest that again Professor Brown of Sydney University says that with an excessive degree of control inherent in the discipline mix you've created the potential for "gross intrusion upon university autonomy, academic freedom and student choice".
