To perform its mission in the society, a university must sustain an extraordinary environment of freedom of inquiry and maintain an independence from political fashions, passions, and pressures.

Oregonians expect their college campuses to be places of genuine academic freedom and political inclusion. They expect faculty and administrators to encourage all reasonable viewpoints, not just those conforming to their own ideologies. They believe that higher education requires a diversity of ideas and viewpoints above all.
