Clear and robust statements and policies about free expression on campus can nourish a healthy civic climate among students, faculty, and administrators alike. What goes into drafting the most effective guidelines for free expression on campus? Who should these processes include?

This event is co-hosted by BPC and PEN America as part of PEN America’s series, The Common Room.
