What kind of academic freedom must public universities have?

At least in Costa Rica, teachers working in public universities claim for academic freedom.

According to them, academic freedom is receiving funds from government without having to be accountable for their use, this idea expressed of course in much more suave ways.

It is not surprising therefore the conclusion reached by Rogge and Goodrich: "We simply do not believe in academic freedom." (1)
