Academic Freedom

Hudson County Community College recognizes high quality, diversity, and adaptability to new ideas among its tenured faculty and has confidence that such characteristics can be retained and advanced through proper use of in-service training, and promotion policies, coupled with fair and humane working conditions. Continuous appointment of a significant proportion of the College's faculty provides continuity of educational leadership, fosters institutional and community loyalty and participation, and affords the protection of academic freedom.
