    Academic freedom is defined as the freedom to teach, research, and communicate ideas without fear of job loss or punishment. It originated from the German concepts of Lernfreiheit and Lehrfreiheit. Lernfreiheit gave students freedom to choose their courses, while Lehrfreiheit gave professors the right to conduct independent research and teach their findings. The Philippines adopted the American concept of academic freedom rather than the German model, as its education system was based on the US. The Constitution protects academic freedom for institutions of higher learning.

    Freedom to teach and do research


    without constraint to discover and
    promulgate new ideas. ( Robinson and
    Moulton, 2002)
    ORIGIN OF ACADEMIC
    FREEDOM
    The roots of academic freedom
    could be traced to the nineteenth
    century German idea contained in
    two terms: Lernfreiheit and
    Lehrfreiheit.
    ORIGIN OF ACADEMIC
    FREEDOM
    Lernfreiheit refers to the view that the university is likened to
    a market except that it is free market of ideas. In this
    market, the student are free;
     “to roam from place to place, sampling academic wares”
    “to be free to determine the choice and sequence
    of courses”
     “responsible to no one for regular attendance”
     “exempted from all test save the final examination”
    ORIGIN OF ACADEMIC
    FREEDOM
    Lehrfreiheit refers to the right of the
    German professors to do independence
    research. He is also entitled to report
    his findings to his student. He is even
    free to convince and persuade others
    to think the way he think.
    ORIGIN OF ACADEMIC
    Origin FREEDOM
    of academic freedom borne out of the
    German University tradition. In those times, the
    academic community was set apart from the
    general community. Those within the academic
    community were the only ones entitled to enjoy
    academic freedom. It was not to be enjoyed by
    those outside the four walls of the academe.
    ORIGIN OF ACADEMIC
    GermanFREEDOM
    academic community was characterized as
    autocratic where every member is bound to be
    circumspect and be loyal, the American society
    adhered to the tradition of freedom of speech and
    enjoyment of basic inalienable right as guaranteed
    by the US Constitution. American universities and
    colleges in the US accept the concept of en loco
    parentis and professional neutrality.
    ORIGIN OF ACADEMIC
    FREEDOM
    The term in loco parentis, Latin for
    "in the place of a parent" refers to
    the legal responsibility of a person
    or organization to take on some of
    the functions and responsibilities of
    a parent.
    The Philippines whose educational
    system is an exact replica of the
    American system adopted the
    American concept and not the German
    concept.
    Article XIV, Sec. 5 part 2 of the
    Philippines
    New Constitution states
    “Academic freedom shall be enjoyed
    in all institutions of higher learning.”
    Article XIV, Section 1. The
    shall
    State protect and promote the
    right of all citizens to quality
    education at all levels, and
    shall take appropriate steps to
    make such education
    accessible to all.
    According to former UP Prof. Carlos P.
    R o m u l o , “I t si t h e
    th e te a c h e r o f t h e
    d u t y o f b oa r d t o p ro t e c t
    U n i ve r si ty o f h is r ig h t t o teach
    the subject according to the best of his
    knowledge without interference from
    political, authority, pressure groups, or
    special interest.”
    For the administrative authorities,
    academic freedom means the freedom
    to determine who should be
    employed as members of the
    administrative staff.
    For teachers, researchers,
    students,
    and academic freedom
    the freedom
    means to search for the
    truth once found to let it be
    known to
    in writing or verbally within the
    confines of the institutions
