A Statement about Professor Courtney Brown


Professor Courtney Brown is a member of the Emory faculty and
teaches in the Department of Political Science.  His published
work in social science has received very favorable recognition
from experts in the field.  Independently of this professional
work, he has recently established and runs "The Farsight
Institute," an organization having no relationship whatever with
Emory University, and from which it receives no support.
Professor Brown has declared that he will not commingle his
responsibilities at Emory with these other activities. To the
best of our knowledge, he has honored that pledge.  Under these
circumstances, he is free to pursue his endeavors with his
institute.

The principles of academic freedom, as well as the liberties
granted to all American citizens, do not permit this university
or any other university to constrain the ideas or opinions of any
of its faculty members.  John Stuart Mill said it best when in,
On Liberty, he wrote: "If all mankind minus one, were of one
opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion,
mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person,
than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing
mankind."  Universities do not exist to shelter received opinion
or to affirm what everyone knows.  They serve instead to
stimulate originality of thought and independence of expression.
Since error is often the companion of truth, and since truth is
always to be sought yet never to be gained, universities have
always had an intimate acquaintance with falsehood.

While I do not agree with the content of Professor Brown's
non-Emory activities, he has the right to pursue them.
