FreshEd #156 – Free Speech and Academic Freedom on Campus (Neal H. Hutchens)
Are there limits to what can be said on college campuses? When a far-right-wing speaker is disinvited to speak on campus, is it an issue of Free Speech? My guest today, Neal Hutchens, explores these issues in his research and writing. Ultimately, his look at the legal issues facing universities when it comes to free speech and academic freedom go to the heart of the purpose of higher education. What are colleges for? Neal H. Hutchens serves as Professor and Chair in the University of Mississippi School of Education’s Department of Higher Education. His latest opinion piece on campus free speech laws was published in The Conversation in April. Today’s episode was put together in collaboration with the Education Law Association. www.freshedpodcast.com/hutchens Twitter: @FreshEdpodcast Facebook: FreshEd Email: info@freshedpodcast.com
