Prof. David Decosimo Named Member of Academic Freedom Alliance
Associate Professor of Theology David Decosimo has been invited to be a member of the Academic Freedom Alliance (AFA). According to the AFA website, the Alliance is committed to protecting academic freedom, and “is a non-profit organization whose members are dedicated to protecting the rights of faculty members at colleges and universities to speak, instruct, and publish without fear of sanction or punishment.” The AFA also aids in providing legal support to members whose academic freedom is threatened or violated by their employers.
Famous members of the AFA include Cornel West and Nadine Strossen. “I’m deeply honored to be part of a diverse organization that aims to advance an ethos of open inquiry and unfettered teaching in pursuit of truth and learning, against forces of illiberalism, censorship, and cancellation, whether from within the university or without,” says Prof. Decosimo. “I am honored to have been invited into membership.”
