The statement calls for a recommitment to the core principles of academic freedom, integrity, and public accountability. It highlights the necessity for universities to engage actively with the public, ensuring that education remains accessible and relevant to the needs of society. The authors argue that higher education must not only impart knowledge but also cultivate critical thinking and civic responsibility among students.
