Academic Freedom, Tenure, and Student Evaluations of Faculty: A Response to Haskell and His Critics Edith J. Cisneros-Cohernour Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán Mérida, Yucatán, México Citation: Cisneros-Cohernour, E. J. (2005, June 15). Academic freedom, tenure, and student evaluations of faculty: A response to Haskell and his critics. Education Policy Analysis Archives, 13(32). Retrieved [date] from http://epaa.asu.edu/epaa/v13n32. This article was accepted by the previous Editor, Gene V Glass (1993-2004). Abstract I comment on the strengths and limitations of Haskell's article and provide a critical review of his arguments about the negative impact of SEF on tenure and other administrative decisions. I object to the limited evidence supporting the claim that the use of student evaluations per se challenges academic freedom. Access this article in PDF format.
