Free Speech on Campus: Is it in Danger?
What are the limits of speech? The right to speak freely on college campuses has increasingly come into conflict with important goods like personal safety, psychological health, respect for others, protection from misinformation, and civil discourse. This is nothing new: the contest over freedom of speech has a long history in the United States. Yet the frequency and intensity of the debate seems to be increasing, leaving students, faculty, and administrators bewildered and longing for guidance. On February 10th, 2021, Baylor in Washington was pleased to host this searching conversation about the principles of free speech in a divisive age.
Baylor in Washington was pleased to cosponsor this event with the Initiative on Faith & Public Life and the Institute for Humane Studies.
