Faculty Forum: Academic Freedom & Free Speech

Recent events on our campus and at campuses across the world have raised questions about faculty members' rights and responsibilities regarding academic freedom, First Amendment rights to free speech, and how to engage campus communities in challenging conversations.

How are academic freedom and the right to speech different and where do they intersect?What are the rights and responsibilities of faculty members--and what strategies might they use--in campus discussions and in public communication?

Speaker:

  • Jay Rosselló, Vice President for Legal Affairs and General Counsel


The session will be moderated by John Bertot, Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs.



This event is open only to faculty and staff at the University of Maryland. If you require accommodations, please email us or call 301.405.6803.
