This University exists to provide an opportunity for education to enable students to live a more perceptive and fulfilling life. Its aim is to inspire them in creative and critical thinking and to encourage them to contribute their ideas for the improvement of the society in which they live.
Basic to the achievement of these purposes is freedom of expression and communication. Without this freedom, effective sifting and testing of ideas ceases, and research, teaching and learning are stifled. Knowledge is as broad and diverse as life itself, and the need for freedom is equally broad. View full policy (PDF, 33 KB).
