Cornell University's 2023-2024 school year portends to be chock-full of pro-free speech programs as the school announced the topic would be the 'featured theme' for the next school year.
“It is critical to our mission as a university to think deeply about freedom of expression and the challenges that result from assaults on it, which today come from both ends of the political spectrum,” Cornell President Martha Pollack said in a statement. “Learning from difference, learning to engage with difference, and learning to communicate across difference are key parts of a Cornell education.
The planned programming for the year of free expression includes a website that the university says will launch prior to the beginning of the fall semester. The university also plans to host speakers on a variety of topics that"[model] respectful dialogue." "Students, faculty, and staff will be encouraged to engage with these ideas, and in civil discourse about them, through a wide range of scholarly and creative events and activities, from lectures to community book reads to artistic exhibitions and performances," the university said in its press release.
