How to promote free speech and ensure safety on college campuses: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Provost weighs in
Anulika Ochuba/Illinois Public Media and University of Illinois
Earlier this year, college campuses across America — and across Illinois — were the site of significant protests over Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, which has left more than 40,0000 Palestinians dead.
One of the big questions out of this has to do with the value of free speech, and whether and how universities go about protecting it. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Provost joins the 21st today for a conversation on this as well as how to maintain safety while allowing students to demonstrate, engage in debate, and challenge ideas.
