Academic freedom at the Munroe-Meyer Institute
The Munroe-Meyer Institute is committed to cultivating and preserving academic freedom. It is a cornerstone of academia and our institution. We value honest, free and open dialogue and expression, and the diversity of opinions. As an academic unit of UNMC, we are committed to the education of Nebraska’s emerging leaders who will directly impact the future of those we care for and those we care about. We have always encouraged, and always will encourage, debate and sharing different views in a safe and respectful environment. Academic freedom prepares students and enables faculty and staff to be thoughtful and engaged citizens. In doing so, it ensures that we continue to thrive in the coming years and beyond.
