Abstract
This article discusses the activities of Accuracy in Academia and offers practical suggestions for protecting faculty from challenges to classroom teaching. The group monitors lectures and textbooks for perceived liberal bias and has pursued lawsuits against professors, raising concerns about academic freedom. The discussion emphasizes precautionary measures such as focusing lectures on subject material, avoiding unsupported personal opinions, prohibiting unauthorized recordings, and limiting classroom access to enrolled students. Additional strategies include maintaining detailed syllabi, discouraging disruptive students, and documenting classroom activities for protection. Faculty are advised to notify department chairs and legal offices if targeted, ensuring institutional awareness and support. While acknowledging that controversy is part of higher education, the article stresses the need for careful classroom management and preparedness to safeguard academic integrity against external pressures.
