As access to information is becoming easier every day, social needs are constantly transforming and we cannot even predict which professions will exist in the near future. Thereby universities have to not only keep up with this rapid change with scientific research, education and community service activities, but also to lead it. Achieving this is only possible by ensuring that universities are independent of all economic and political powers, and protecting them as\u00a0<em>a place where wisdom wanders freely and ideas clash with each other<\/em>.<\/p><h4>Academic Freedom<\/h4><p>At Kadir Has University, we unquestionably accept and undertake our firm commitment to our\u00a0<strong>principles of academic freedom and merit<\/strong>\u00a0together with our students, academic and administrative staff in all areas of scientific research, education and community service activities. Home to scientific development and critical thinking, contemporary universities share founding missions:\u00a0<strong>the combination of research and education, freedom of education and autonomy of academia<\/strong>. These missions also form the basis of our university\u2019s understanding of academic freedom.<\/p><p>According to this understanding, academic freedom is the cornerstone of a university where:<\/p><ul><li>all students, faculty members and stakeholders have the right to freely determine, conduct, express and share their research subjects and methods with society without any political, commercial, religious motive or without depending on the conditioning of any dogma,<\/li><li>all members of the university are considered to have equal rights,<\/li><li>students are actively participating in the design of their educational methods and activities, and academic staff transparently approach the questions, comments and suggestions of all students without any hierarchy, and they are excited about their potential academic contributions,<\/li><li>access to information and science is open to everyone to ensure development via interpersonal communication,<\/li><li>decisions are taken by elected boards and administrators in democratic methods,<\/li><li>and there are no barriers to scientific doubt.<\/li><\/ul><p>As an institution that has maintained these values since its foundation and has strictly adhered to the ideals of academic freedom and scientific autonomy in research and educational activities, we firmly believe in unconditional freedom of thought, and uphold the principle that scientific production can only be evaluated according to its own rules, and that science has no purpose other than to seek the truth.<\/p><h4>No to Discrimination!<\/h4><p class=\"p1\"><i>\u201cFarkl\u0131y\u0131z ama e\u015fitiz!\u201d <\/i>&#8211; Kadir Has \u00dcniversitesi dil, din, \u0131rk, renk, ya\u015f, vatanda\u015fl\u0131k durumu, etnik k\u00f6ken, engellilik durumu, cinsiyet, cinsel y\u00f6nelim, meden\u00ee durum, hamilelik, sosyal stat\u00fc, e\u011fitim durumu ve siyasi g\u00f6r\u00fc\u015fe ba\u011fl\u0131 do\u011frudan ve dolayl\u0131 her t\u00fcrl\u00fc ayr\u0131mc\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131 reddeder.
