Investigation at San Francisco Art Institute
The American Association of University Professors’ (AAUP) general secretary has authorized an investigation into issues of academic freedom, tenure, and due process posed by the release of numerous tenured professors on grounds of financial exigency at the art institute.
The committee will visit the institution where the event(s) under investigation occurred, meet with the principal parties, and prepare a report for submission to the AAUP’s national Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure. The investigating committee’s draft report will recount the facts of the case, and sets forth conclusions as to whether the actions of the administration were in procedural and substantive compliance with the principles and standards supported by the Association.
