Harvard professor Kit Parker touted the importance of academic freedom while weighing in on a nonprofit organization's report ranking the college the lowest for free speech.
Harvard professor Kit Parker joins 'Fox & Friends First' to weigh in after a study ranked Harvard University the worst school for free speech.
Harvard banners hang outside Memorial Church on the Harvard University campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Friday, Sept. 4, 2009. "Academic freedom is one of the most important supporting values of the pursuit of excellence. If you think about colleges, the goal here is not really a state of accomplishment when you go to college, as indicated by a diploma. It's about a state of mind that's demonstrated by an openness to novel ideas and their supporting arguments," said Parker, a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve who served in Afghanistan.
"If you take a look at a university or college, it's got a problem with academic freedom. More than likely they have a leadership problem, and that's not the only problem on that campus," he added.
