ABOUT THE REPORT:
“Information and Communication Technologies, Freedom of Expression and their Impact on Academic Freedom”, is signed by Anna Luisa Walter de Santana and Jorge Ernesto Roa Roa. The report analyzes the relationship between the right to academic freedom and the rights, interests, challenges, and problems that arise in its exercise when it interacts with information and communication technologies (ICTs). This issue is addressed in the Inter-American Principles on Academic Freedom and University Autonomy, which highlights the strong link between the Internet and new technologies and academic freedom.
