WatSAFS is a community open to all students, staff, and faculty of Waterloo University & Wilfrid Laurier University who support unqualified academic freedom. Those who are members of the Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship, of which WatSAFS is a freestanding local chapter, enjoy full voice and vote. The primary purpose of the community, founded in 2021, is to affirm academic freedom in Waterloo, and in that way to help maintain the Universities’ traditional standards of excellence.
