Academic Freedom and Institutional Neutrality: What You Can Say (and What the University Can't)
When: Tuesday, April 29 from 12-1pm
Where: via Zoom (link will be sent to registrants)
Description: What speech does academic freedom protect? Does institutional neutrality affect how you teach, research, or speak out? This session breaks down the scope of these principles, when they matter, and how both are being tested in today’s higher ed climate. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your rights, the University’s responsibilities, and where questions remain about the boundaries of both in 2025 and beyond.
Presented by: Jesh Humphrey, Vice Chancellor for Institutional Integrity and General Counsel, and Sarah Edwards, Associate Vice Chancellor for Legal Affairs and Deputy General Counsel
