Abstract
Since knowledge is not a product that can be shaped and manufactured to meet the spiritual or political needs of various customers, academic freedom must exist to protect faculty in the ultimate search for and dissemination of truth. Just as freedom of speech is safeguarded by the Constitution, academic freedom must be defended by tenure. This article explains the need for tenure by addressing its more popular fallacies and some of the current attempts to erode its strength.
