What to expect
Expert guidance for navigating the difficult new issues around free speech rights in higher education
In their earlier book, Free Speech on Campus, Erwin Chemerinsky and Howard Gillman argued that colleges and universities should permit the expression of the widest possible range of views. Nearly ten tumultuous years later, many issues have arisen that this simple principle does not adequately address. To what extent must an institution provide expensive security for extremely controversial speakers? Should colleges and universities defend faculty, students, or administrators who find themselves the victims of social media firestorms? How should they handle the expression of controversial views or the use of offensive language in classrooms? May academic departments or other administrative units—or an entire school—take positions on controversial political issues? What rules should exist around campus protests or disruptive activities? How should we assess government efforts to control faculty speech or curricular choices? In Campus Speech and Academic Freedom, two law professors and university administrators who have confronted these questions for years draw on their extensive real-world experience to help campus leaders, campus communities, government officials, and the public better understand and address the contentious issues surrounding campus speech.
Critics Review
-
“This lucid, compelling book combines rigorous legal analysis with sound practical advice. Written by two of America’s most distinguished constitutional scholars and successful university leaders, Campus Speech and Academic Freedom is essential reading for anyone concerned about the state of free speech and higher education today.”
Christopher L. Eisgruber, president, Princeton University, and author of Terms of Respect: How Colleges Get Free Speech Right
-
“Clarifying enduring legal and normative principles, the authors provide an unflinching analysis of current campus speech struggles, which neither courts controversy nor shies away from it. An essential book for scholars, administrators, and organizers.”
Sigal Ben-Porath, author of Cancel Wars: How Universities Can Foster Free Speech, Promote Inclusion, and Renew Democracy
-
“Campus Speech and Academic Freedom belongs on the desk of every university leader. Chemerinsky and Gillman clearly and cogently explain the case law and provide many examples from campuses across the country. Most important of all, they offer practical advice that university leaders can use. This book will quickly become the go-to source for solutions to questions of freedom of expression and academic freedom on campus.”
Barbara R. Snyder, president, Association of American Universities
