Abstract
To fight for Academic Freedom appears as virtuous, nowadays, as recurrently necessary whenever certain possibilities by academics and/or students are denied. Academic Freedom is also invoked to claim the possibility by universities to nurture societies at large. Whilst all these records are certainly realistic and do occur, Academic Freedom is foremost a tension between universities and society – a tension about the extent to which and under which forms Academic Freedom ought to exist. This interplay is arguably always contestable. In this relationship, it is naïve to assume that the academic side is necessarily the virtuous one and in peril, and that societal forces the ones that occasionally fall into the shame of authoritarianisms
