Due to the nature of “Iconoclasm” the Conference Organizers have chosen to post the University of Toronto’s policies regarding Freedom of Speech, Academic Freedom, and all relevant Codes of Conduct.

Freedom of Speech: http://www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/policies/frspeech.htm

Disruption of Meetings: http://www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/policies/disrupt.htm

Code of Student Conduct: http://www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/policies/studentc.htm

Academic Freedom and Responsibilities: http://utfa.org/images/file/memoagr12_31_06.pdf :

1. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the University is committed to the pursuit of truth, the advancement of learning, and the dissemination of knowledge. To this end, they agree to abide by the principles of academic freedom as expressed in the following statement: academic freedom is the freedom to examine, question, teach, and learn, and it involves the right to investigate, speculate, and comment without reference to prescribed doctrine, as well as the right to criticize the University and society at large. Specifically, and without limiting the above, academic freedom entitles faculty and librarians to:

(a) freedom in carrying out their activities:

(b) freedom in pursuing research and scholarship and in publishing or making public the results thereof; and

(c) freedom from institutional censorship. Academic freedom does not require neutrality on the part of the individual nor does it preclude commitment on the part of the individual. Rather academic freedom makes such commitment possible.
