Free speech and censorship on college campuses, including UNC, can often times lead to both controversial and educational conversations. What constitutes ‘free speech,’ and should a university regulate faculty members? Join me for a thought-provoking debate and discussion on Wednesday evening, March 31, for “Making Space for Diversity of Ideas: Should the University Censor Speech and , if so, on What Basis?” featuring Professors Alan Dershowitz (Harvard Law Emeritus) and Robert Post (Yale Law). This event is sponsored by Steamboat Institute as part of their Campus Liberty Tour and will be moderated by Jillian Melchior, editorial page writer for The Wall Street Journal.
This debate and discussion is scheduled from 5:30-7 p.m. Wednesday, March 31, which will be live-streamed, and you can register here. Viewers will be able to submit questions live during the debate. This is a great opportunity for university administrators, faculty and students to gain a better understanding of free speech and censorship on campus.
