American Association of University Professors Position Paper on Academic Freedom--1940

c) College and university teachers are citizens, members of a learned profession, and officers of an educational institution. When they speak or write as citizens, they should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence they should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution.

There are entirely too many lefties in the Academy who have no concept what the italicized words mean.

Man, that’s hilarious! Notice that it was written in 1940. Today’s leftists go into professorships so that they can get paid to say whatever they want.
