Division of Academic Affairs

Baruch College provides an inclusive, transformational education in the arts and sciences, business, and public and international affairs to students from New York and around the world and creates new knowledge through scholarship and research. In support of this mission, the Division of Academic Affairs supports faculty and students in pursuit of their academic ambitions.

In addition to the Office of the Provost, the division is comprised of four subdivisions: Faculty Affairs, Research, and Innovation; Institutional Effectiveness and Accreditation; Learning and Student Success; Pedagogy and Online Programs.

In all of its work, the Division of Academic Affairs remains true to the founding mission of Baruch’s ancestral institution, the Free Academy, which opened in 1847 to transform individual lives by providing a top quality “education for all.”

Academic Freedom

Baruch College is a community of learners and scholars whose diverse cultural and ideological perspectives enrich the campus experience. Academic freedom lies at the foundation of our dynamic intellectual environment. The CUNY policy on academic freedom is derived from the AAUP 1940 Statement of Principles, which we provide here:

  1. “Teachers are entitled to full freedom in research and in the publication of the results, subject to the adequate performance of their other academic duties; but research for pecuniary return should be based upon an understanding with the authorities of the institution.
  2. Teachers are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject, but they should be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to their subject.4 Limitations of academic freedom because of religious or other aims of the institution should be clearly stated in writing at the time of the appointment.5
  3. College and university teachers are citizens, members of a learned profession, and officers of an educational institution. When they speak or write as citizens, they should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence, they should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution.”
