Join us for an SFHE Social Hour!
January 13th, 2025 at 6pm Central
THEME: Future Focus/Future Issues
Join us January 13, 2025 at 6pm Central time for an online gathering with SFHE friends and colleagues. This, and future gatherings, will provide an opportunity to catch up with SFHE and discuss issues pertinent to higher education. Our first gathering will focus on academic freedom. Academic freedom is considered to be the freedom of educators, students, and academic institutions to pursue knowledge and other intellectual activities without fear of censorship or retaliation of any kind. Unfortunately, the current environment around academic freedom is complicated by a number of political, technological, economic, and social factors. Emerging threats to academic freedom include changing perceptions of the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion; artificial intelligence; erosion of tenure processes; and more.
