In a public declaration signed by hundreds of professors, they claim that the additional courses and a different measure in the North Carolina House of Representatives would \u201cviolate fundamental academic freedom principles\u201d and \u201creplace faculty intellectual expertise with ideological force-feeding.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1\" style=\"min-width: 320px; min-height: 50px; text-align: center;\">\n        <script>\n          googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1'); });\n        <\/script>\n      <\/div>\n<p>The proposed House Bill 96 would mandate that students enroll in a 3-credit course on the origins and history of the United States. The course would cover texts such as the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, at least five Federalist Papers articles, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s Letter from Birmingham Jail, and the Gettysburg Address. Meanwhile, H.B. 715 would abolish tenure at UNC and its associated institutions, set minimum class sizes, and require the university to disclose \u201call non-instructional research performed by higher education personnel at the institution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The professors denounced both legislations as an attack on \u201cexpertise,\u201d arguing that American government courses constitute little more than indoctrination. \u201cOur leaders continue to disregard campus autonomy, attack the expertise and independence of world-class faculty, and seek to force students\u2019 educations into pre-approved ideological containers,\u201d the letter said. \u201cWe must protect the principles of academic freedom and shared governance which have long made UNC a leader in public education. If enacted, we believe that these measures will further damage the reputation of UNC and the state of North Carolina and will likely bring critical scrutiny from accrediting agencies that know undue interference in university affairs when they see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>In March, H.B. 96 had passed through the North Carolina House of Representatives.
