How Wiles v the University of Auckland strengthens academic freedom in New Zealand Open
While academic freedom is embedded in the New Zealand Education and Training Act 2020, the Act is not explicit as to how the resulting rights and corresponding obligations should be exercised by universities and their staff. The recent emp…
