TU-AAUP Report on Shared Governance and Academic Freedom
TU-AAUP Report on Shared Governance and Academic Freedom
On February 1st, TU-AAUP members, along with students from the TU Honors Program, gathered at the Zarrow Center for a conversation with John Carreyrou, author of Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup. (The book was an inspiration for the HBO documentary The Inventor.) Carreyrou, who was in town for a BookSmart Tulsa event, engaged the group in a lively discussion on a range of themes including the broad economic forces shaping the Silicon Valley culture and the practices of administrative overconfidence and ineptitude driving the downfall of Theranos and organizations like it.
TU-AAUP thanks John Carreyrou for his participation and looks forward to partnering with both BookSmart Tulsa and the TU Honors Program for future events!

Protecting academic freedom is the AAUP's core mission. Academic freedom is the indispensable requisite for unfettered teaching and research in institutions of higher education. As the academic community's core policy document states, "institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to further the interest of either the individual teacher or the institution as a whole. The common good depends upon the free search for truth and its free exposition."
