| Abstract | Despite mounting evidence, universities continue to insist that academic freedom -- one of the most cherished of all tertiary values -- remains an immutable part of institutional life. After all, how can the modern university retain its image as a bastion of free, critical thought if academies are muzzled? Still, as the manageriat likes to remind academics, with freedom comes responsibility. Reputations and brands have to be protected. Getting the balance right between institutional interests and personal responsibly is difficult but not impossible. Maximum autonomy in an institutional setting need not be contradictory. It's the values that count here, and what is considered to be important in terms of academic work. The limits of that work have not and should not be defined simply by market-oriented, reputational considerations, or through top-down diktat. The application of relative freedoms should be worked out through the active inclusion of academics and students at all levels of university governance. The problem today is that this is largely the preserve of the managerial class whose stated commitments to academic freedom tend to collide with more instrumental concerns. The tension between the two is hard to reconcile, but if academic freedom has any meaning in the current environment it requires a radical redistribution of power and influence within and across the academy.
