In Defense of Knowledge

and Higher Education

(JANUARY 2020)

The following statement, prepared by a subcommittee of the Association’s Committee A on Academic 

Freedom and Tenure, was approved by Committee A in October 2019 and adopted by the AAUP’s Council 

in November 2019.

 Teaching is the transmission of knowledge and a means of its production.

 Teaching is the transmission of knowledge and a means of its production.

Knowledge is understandings of the world upon which we rely because they are produced by the best methods at our disposal. The expert knowledge  is not produced merely by immediate sense impressions. One cannot know the half-life of plutonium-238 merely by staring at a lump of rock. One cannot know the effect of sugar on the body merely by eating candy. To know any of these things, one must use the 

disciplinary methods of chemistry or medicine. These disciplines cumulatively produce understandings that are continuously tested and revised by communities of trained scholars. 

Expert knowledge is a process of constant exploration, revision, and adjudication. Expert knowledge, and the procedures by which it is produced, are subject to endless reexamination and reevaluation. It is this process of self-questioning that justifies society’s reliance on expert knowledge. Such knowledge may in the end prove accurate or inaccurate, but it is the best we can do at any given time. That is why we are largely justified in relying on it.

Knowledge, including knowledge of the past, exists to serve the needs of the living.
