It is the policy of Schiller International University to maintain an atmosphere in which students and faculty have ample opportunity to explore the full spectrum of ideas, opinions, and beliefs. The Institution recognizes and respects the individual faculty member's rights to academic freedom, as well as the obligations inherent in these rights. Faculty have the right to pursue scholarly inquiry to any honest conclusion. They are free to present to their colleagues and students their findings and judgments about their field of specialization. 

Faculty members have the professional obligation to present the learning objectives in a manner that supports diverse learning styles in the classroom. Finally, they are free to publish the results of research and reflection without institutional censorship.

In order to ensure that this situation is perpetuated, academic freedom is defined in terms of the following rights to:

• Seek & interpret information.
• Communication findings without interference. 

By accepting academic freedom, each faculty member accepts the following responsibilities for preserving that freedom to:

• Maintain scholarly competence.
• Confine oneself to his / her area of competence.
• Be objective & speak his / her conclusions.
• Speak officially for the Institution only when authorized.
• Defend the academic freedom of his / her colleagues.

Schiller International University guarantees academic freedom by making sure that all faculty members are protected from discriminatory dismissal. The faculty subscribes to this statement of academic freedom with the firm belief that academic freedom neither implies the granting of license nor releases anyone of his / her contractual and legal duties. 

Schiller International University is committed to providing a rigorous, accessible, and student-centered education that prepares graduates for meaningful careers, responsible citizenship, and continued intellectual and professional development.

In response to the August 18, 2026, communication from the Florida Commissioner of Education regarding the National Call to Action issued by the U.S. Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, Schiller International University reaffirms its commitment to the principles of academic excellence, intellectual inquiry, student success, institutional accountability, and service to the communities in which it operates.

The University’s current catalog, published policies, admissions materials, student support services, and institutional effectiveness processes provide the framework for the commitments described in this document here.
