Matthew W. Finkin, On “Institutional” Academic Freedom, 61 TEXAS L. REV. 817 (1983).
 

Abstract:
First Amendment jurisprudence recognizes and protects academic freedom and institutional autonomy of private academic institutions. Although these ideas are often used interchangeably, they are not the same thing and may conflict with each other at times. Prof. Finkin argues that “institutional” academic freedom is an idea not found within the Constitution, and that the state must have the right to set certain parameters for institutions of higher learning.
