Equally mandated by Article XIV, Section 5(2) of the 1987
Constitution is that academic freedom shall be enjoyed in all
institutions of higher learning. Academic freedom of educational
institutions has been defined as the right of the school or college to
decide for itself, its aims and objectives, and how best to attain
them — free from outside coercion or interference save possibly
when the overriding public welfare calls for some restraint. It has a
wide sphere of autonomy certainly extending to the choice of
students. Said constitutional provision is not to be construed in a
niggardly manner or in a grudging fashion. That would be to
frustrate its purposes and nullify its intent.5
