Presentation on Threats to Academic Freedom, April 26
NSU’s Branch of the American Association of University Women is pleased to invite you to a presentation on threats to academic freedom, a vital topic for our academic community. We are delighted to have law school Professor Jon Garon provide valuable insights into this crucial topic. The presentation will be held on April 26, 2023: 12:20-1:30 p.m. in the DeSantis Atrium in the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship.
This session will discuss the benefits of Academic Freedom to the community at large and then explore current First Amendment jurisprudence and related issues of academic freedom as they impact K-12 teachers and university faculty. The discussion will look at recent events, decisions of the Supreme Court and Circuit Courts, and political trends to explore the conflicting goals of governments, students, universities, and faculty members. The talk will also address the authority of institutions to discipline faculty and students for speech deemed inappropriate or in conflict with institutional values.
Lunch will be served. Limited seating RSVP required.
Faculty and Staff RSVP to Randi Sims sims@nova.edu
