That professors and students must have the freedom to pursue what interests them intellectually-no matter the degree to which critics from inside or outside the academy might consider such enthusiasms to be esoteric, impractical, irrelevant, unprofitable, or controversial-is arguably the dominant, commonsensical core of the discourse supporting institutionalized academic freedom in Canadian universities. Whether one adheres to 'old-fashioned' ideas about the purposes of higher education being to facilitate, through liberal arts programmes, broadly-based understandings about the natural and social worlds, with the aim of producing graduates who are prepared to participate in society as well-rounded, socially responsible citizens, or to 'new-fashioned' ideas about higher education's duty to (re)produce, through professional, practice- and skills-based programmes, workers and consumers who are prepared to fully participate in a capitalistic, globalized, and highly competitive economy, intellectual freedom is the conceptual basis upon which participants of public higher education can justify their arguments about what it means to 'educate', to 'get an education', and to 'be educated' in academically 'free' institutions. © 2012 Sense Publishers.
