1 SCHOOL OF MASS COMMUNICATIONS STATEMENT ON GOVERNANCE Preamble This document is guided principally by a common belief in shared governance at all levels, intent on creating trust and collegiality and aimed at forwarding our mission of teaching, research and service to the University and community at large. It is characterized by collaboration; transparency; representative participation; mutual accountability; and clarity of roles. It provides the foundation for success in teaching, research and service in Mass Communications. Statement on Academic Freedom Universities are institutions based on the principle of Academic Freedom. This constitutes the freedom to discuss all relevant matters in the classroom; to explore all avenues of scholarship, research, and creative expression; to speak freely on all matters of university governance; and to speak, write, or act as a public citizen without institutional discipline or restraint. Protection of academic freedom shall be a cornerstone of School policies and procedures. Statement on Collegiality The fundamental premise of this document is that all faculty, students, staff and administrators are dedicated to the successful operation and advancement of the mission of the School in a collegial manner. Collegiality among and between faculty, staff and students is expected behavior in the School. Nothing in this section, however, abrogates a faculty member s First Amendment rights to free expression or to express criticism or dissent about matters relating to the School. Governing authority Governance at the School of Mass Communications at the University of South Florida derives from the authority granted by the University of South Florida and its constitution, the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Social Sciences, the United Faculty of Florida collective bargaining agreement and the laws of the state of Florida. It is recognized that this document may not contravene the constitutions and laws of the state of Florida; rules, regulations, and policies of the Florida Board of Governors; rules, regulations, and policies of the University of South Florida; and any applicable collective bargaining agreement or legislatively-mandated management right.
