Academic Freedom and Tenure: Community College of Aurora (Colorado)
American Association of University Professors
This report concerns actions taken by the administration of the Community College of Aurora, during the fourth week of the fall 2016 semester, to terminate the appointment of part-time instructor of philosophy, Nathanial Bork, without affordance of academic due process. Mr. Bork was dismissed after conveying his intention to send to the college's accreditor a report detailing his "deep concerns" about the college's Gateway to Success initiative, which modified certain entry-level liberal arts courses in an effort to improve their pass rates. [The initial text of this report was produced by the members of the investigating committee.]
