The issue of academic freedom has long been discussed in our country. Students and academics have always yearned for academic freedom, as it allows them to voice their opinions without fear of disciplinary action. The Pakatan Harapan government took steps to establish academic freedom after winning the 14th General Election in 2018 by amending certain provisions of the University and University Colleges Act 1971. These amendments aimed to allow active political participation by students and encourage them to speak up.
ISU kebebasan akademik sudah lama diperkatakan dalam negara kita. Rata-rata golongan pelajar serta ahli akademik sentiasa dahagakan kebebasan akademik. Dengan ada perkara ini, banyak perkara dapat dilakukan bagi memajukan masyarakat dan negara terutamanya dari aspek untuk bersuara dan meluahkan pendapat yang membina tanpa rasa takut dan bimbang dikenakan tindakan disiplin atau sebarang hukuman.
Jika kita masih ingat, pada penghujung 2018, beberapa usaha pindaan dilakukan terhadap Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti 1971 untuk membenarkan mahasiswa aktif berpolitik dan untuk tampil berani bersuara. Isu untuk memansuhkan akta itu sentiasa mendapat tempat dalam negara. Walaupun usaha penambahbaikan melalui beberapa pindaan sudah banyak kali dilakukan namun masih terdapat pihak yang mahukan akta ini dimansuhkan sepenuhnya.
Bagi memantapkan lagi kebebasan akademik dalam negara kita, pihak kerajaan juga harus melihat semula semua undang-undang lapok lain yang sudah lama digunapakai termasuk semua jenis undang-undang sedia ada yang dilihat boleh menghalang seseorang itu untuk mengeluarkan pandangan kritis serta pendapat yang membina seperti Akta Hasutan 1948 .
