- Summary:
-
Freedom and accountability are not antithetical; they are equal elements and complementary principles in the educational equation to protect the productive pluralism of the student, the teacher, the administrator, and the institution. Pluralism is a critical value to be preserved and promoted through public policy decisions which emphasize freedom and independence. Educational institutions must receive the financial support necessary to maintain viable programs and to assure diversity, difference, and competition. The public has a right to know how public funds are being used to educate and to demand that the monies be spent wisely, but it does not have the right to interfere with basic principles of academic freedom and professional judgment. There must be educational accountability but business must not be the model. Educators' self-imposed model of accountability should focus on the outcome of the learning process as a developed value, the development of individual persons. The model might come from religion--an understanding of human relationships and performance of covenants. (Author/AG)
