Summary/Abstract: Dissemination of knowledge, the search for truth, students’ progress, and the wellbeing of society are the goals of higher education, and freedom in research and expression is essential to pursuing these goals. As members of the academic community, students should be encouraged to develop their critical judgment skills, to engage in independent research, and support the truth. The procedure to be followed may vary from one institution to another; however, few minimum standards of academic freedom are essential in any community of students. But in order to benefit from favourable conditions in the classroom, on campus and in academia, in general, students have to use their rights responsibly.
