Academic freedom is the belief that the freedom of inquiry by students and faculty members is essential to the mission of the academy, and that scholars should have freedom to teach or communicate ideas or facts (including those that are inconvenient to external political groups or to authorities) without being targeted for repression, job loss, or imprisonment. Still, academic freedom has limits. In the United States, for example, according to the widely recognized "1940 Statement on Academic Freedom and Tenure", teachers should be careful to avoid controversial matter that is unrelated to the subject. When they speak or write in public, they are free to express their opinions without fear from institutional censorship or discipline, but they should show restraint and clearly indicate that they are not speaking for their institution. Academic tenure protects academic freedom by ensuring that teachers can be fired only for causes such as gross professional incompetence or behavior that evokes condemnation from the academic community itself.

Well, you've mentioned the two most important items. I'd say that teachers who are not tenured tend to ask you for advice. I find this very rewarding to help out the new teachers. I think the administrators treat you differently, too. They tend to know that you're not going anywhere... that they can't fire you... so they tend to work a little harder at maintaining a relationship with you. Answered by Mike S - Sun Jul 25 21:03:00 2010 Can atheist explain why evolution theory is receiving negative analysis by schools in America ?
Q. Are atheists using proper analysis in an un biased curriculum. Texas becomes the seventh state to specifically require in its science standards that students critically analyze key aspects of evolutionary theory, joining Minnesota, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Missouri, South Carolina, and Alabama. Two other states, Louisiana and Mississippi, have adopted legislation protecting the academic freedom of teachers and students to discuss scientific evidence critical of Darwin s theory. Schools for the first time are specifically requiring that high school students analyze and evaluate the evidence for major evolutionary concepts such as common ancestry, natural selection, and mutations.

I think it comes down to a simple division between faith and evidence based knowledge. Faith is easy. As strange as it sounds. Once you get over the initial hump of actually believing in invisible gods and talking serpents --everything else can be simply answed by the statement god did it. Evidence based knowledge is simpler on the face of it--"what I see, measure and experience provides me with the information I need to predict outcomes." But when you get past the simple start, it becomes harder. There is always another question and at times the answers are both counterintuitive and disturbing. The earth is not the center of the universe.
