An article strikes me today for a biology teacher getting fired for referring to the bible on the CNN website. See: http://www.cnn.com/2007/EDUCATION/03/20/teacherfired.ap.ap/index.html
With AUCC team coming to ABU, one of the major questions they ask was about academic freedom. They were afraid that christian institutions may limit the level of degree of academic freedom because the institution may not allow exploration of knowledge outside of the christian worldview. However, from my experience, it is exactly the opposite.
ABU faculties are free to explore from any points of view in order to seek the truth. We can research things in a much broader angle because secular univerisities may discourage exploring from the Christian perspective. So far, faculties have not forced me to do things I don't want to do. At least, we won't get fired with the same reason of this biology teacher.
