| Abstract | Christian colleges have been with around since Harvard and Princeton Universities were founded several centuries ago for religious reasons. Recently, such institutions have achieved phenomenal, though quiet, growth. Many of these schools have a requirement that faculty members subscribe to statements of religious faith as a condition of employment. The author of this paper contends that this requirement is detrimental to the idea of academic freedom. Supporters of restrictions on academic freedom in religious colleges make four arguments as to their appropriateness: that such institutions reflect the pluralism of the nation and contribute to civil society; that complete academic freedom is an impossible and indeed unwanted goal; that religious institutions with their restrictions play a special and better role in producing morally good citizens; and that such restrictions are not restrictions at all since faculty and students choose them voluntarily.
