THERE is danger when a profession, like doctors or lawyers, or even barbers, declare that they are for certain candidates, even coming up with online memes and banners screaming their chosen political color.

This is because they make it appear that every member and practitioner of that profession supports this or that candidate.The most guilty of this offense are those who support the candidacy of Vice President Maria Leonor 'Leni' Robredo.But then again, someone doing this can be excused by the argument that they are not claiming universality, except to state a fact that, indeed, they are a group of lawyers, doctors and barbers supporting Robredo. There is nothing wrong with that.

These academic institutions cannot on one hand resist state intrusion into their right to determine who to admit and what, how and who should teach, but on the other hand undermine the freedom of the members of their academic communities.At the core of academic freedom is its being analogous to the enjoyment of individual rights.
