Academic Freedom Complaint Procedures

Has My Academic Freedom Been Violated or Compromised?

The Committee on Academic Freedom (CAF) takes allegations of an attack on a scholar's academic freedom seriously. 

The full committee will meet and discuss the submitted form and any documentation; this process is completely confidential.  If the committee decides further review is warranted, the membership will consult with the complainant and make a recommendation on potential remedies including but not limited to Senate consultation with the administration or a recommendation that the complainant file a grievance with the Committee on Privilege and Tenure per established systemwide policy.

For questions, please contact the CAF analyst, Rebecca Hurdis at rhurdis@ucsc.edu
