academic community
University faculty together
The academic community comprises people involved in higher education and research—professors, scholars, students, and administrators at universities and research institutions.
The term emphasizes shared intellectual culture and professional networks that cross institutional boundaries: The academic community has largely rejected the theory.
It can refer to a single campus or to scholars worldwide in a particular field.
