title: Academic freedom amidst competing demands.
abstract: Academic freedom means freedom from control in the fulfillment of the faculty roles of teaching and scholarship, but conflicts and misunderstandings regarding this right and responsibility occur, particularly during a time of rapid change. This article discusses the potential conflicts inherent in the academic setting between faculty and administration and differentiates between the role of a faculty member and the academic administrator in three areas: service, scholarship, and support.
