Faculty Forum: Academic Freedom & Free Speech

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, public information requests, 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?

Speakers:

• Jay Rosselló, Vice President for Legal Affairs and General Counsel
• Louisa Nkrumah, Learning Experience Designer and Faculty Coach

The session will be facilitated by Laura Rosenthal, Director for Faculty Leadership.

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