AAG Takes Action
Advances in science and society depend on academic environments free from censorship, where teaching and research can thrive without institutional or external restrictions. AAG champions academic freedom.
Ensuring such freedom requires the right to explore diverse ideas supported by open dialogue and rigorous scholarship. AAG stands for the freedom to teach and learn by opposing policies that undermine discourse, impose ideology, or implement political controls.
