Controversial speech can fuel the free exchange of ideas valued by colleges and universities, but it can also invoke regulatory, safety and reputational concerns. In this webinar, we will explore the bounds of student and employee rights to free speech and academic freedom, responsibilities of institutions of higher education, and methods for balancing the two.
Topics
- Recent legal developments in the areas of free speech and academic freedom
