Whittington, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Politics, Princeton University with comments by Ilya Somin, Professor of Law, George Mason University moderated by John Samples, Vice President, Cato Institute RSVP to the event EVENT INFORMATION Date: March 29, 2018 Time: 12:00PM - 1 :30PM (Luncheon to follow) Cost: Free of charge Free speech is under attack at colleges and universities today, with critics on and off campus challenging the value of open inquiry and freewheeling intellectual debate. Too often speakers are shouted down, professors are threatened, and classes are disrupted. Constitutional scholar Keith E. Whittington argues that universities must protect and encourage free speech because vigorous free speech is the lifeblood of the university. Without free speech, a university cannot fulfill its most basic, fundamental, and essential purposes, including to foster freedom of thought, ideological diversity, and tolerance.

And it points out how a better understanding of why the university lives or dies by Location: Cato Institute 1000 Massachusetts Ave, NW Washington, DC 20001 (map) R E G IS T E R Purchase Book Sierra Club v.

Timely and vitally important, Speak Freely demonstrates why universities can succeed only by fostering more free speech, more free thought-- and a greater tolerance for both.
