Abstract

The birth and growth of academic freedom owes its different implications to particular historical backgrounds. Academic freedom as a right calls for protection of law. As a pattern of academic administration,it requires both academic autonomy and academic order and legal and institutional insurance. Therefore,academic freedom cannot be actualized in any order unless academic norm is established. However,recently there is a serious utilitarian and officializing tendency in the world of academic research. As a consequence,such problems as determining the quality of learning just by the rank of periodicals and encouraging academic malpractices arise frequently. Under such circumstances,academic moral and construction of academic norm should strengthened,the leadership and administrative organs should be completed and the current academic assessment regulations should be transformed so as to enhance social supervision of academic conduct and clearly discriminate legal responsibility to severely punish academic malpractices.
