No faculty member shall be obliged to make the academic work of students available for inspection by any third party in the absence of compulsory legal process, without bona fide academic reasons, or without the express written consent of the student. As colleagues, professors have obligations that derive from common membership in the community of scholars. They respect and defend the free inquiry of their associates. In the exchange of criticism and ideas they show due respect for the opinions of others. They acknowledge their academic debts and strive to be objective in their professional judgment of colleagues.
Professors accept their share of faculty responsibilities for the governance of their institution.
As a member of their institution, the professor seeks above all to be an effective teacher and scholar. Although they observe the stated regulations of the institution, provided they do not contravene academic freedom, they maintain their right to criticize and seek revision. Faculty members determine the amount and character of work they do outside their institution with due regard to the paramount responsibilities within it. When considering the interruption or termination of their services, professors recognize the effects of their decision upon the program of the institution and give notice of their intention. As members of the community, professors have the rights and obligations of any citizen.
