Rezumat
This study is likely to cause certain controversies, as it deals with problems of the way in which academic rights and freedom of expression are interpreted in the twenty-first century in a state of the European Union in which the Romanian Orthodox Church is trying to impose certain restrictions based on abuse of authority and dominant power. The continuous intrusion of the Romanian Orthodox Church in universities may be construed as a constant attack on university autonomy, as a wish to subordinate and control the academic milieu, under the pretext of managing theological matters. Theologians’ scientific and teaching activity should depend on their merits exclusively, not on obtaining the consent of a bishop who, most often, does not pertain to the system of higher education.
