The Battle for Free Speech on College Campuses

By Greg Lukianoff ∙ May 15, 2014

Last updated on

CODOH has found this formidable speech of May 2014 by First Amendment lawyer and President of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) on the battle for free speech on U.S. college campuses, a topic very much at the heart and sole of CODOH's Campus Project activities. So watch, listen and learn!

As part of Uncomfortable Learning at Williams College, Greg Lukianoff spoke at Williams College about how colleges suppress free speech. Greg talked about the challenges that students have faced, such as students being arrested for handing out copies of the Constitution or Drexel's rule against derogatory laughter. He also addressed what students can do to encourage debate and free speech at colleges.
