Freedom of Speech: Why We NEED Academic Freedom - Learn Liberty
What are the threats to free speech and free inquiry on college campuses today? Learn more: http://lrnlbty.co/1izBCmC
Academic Freedom—the ability to freely pursue knowledge and inquiry on campus—is under attack, and it’s important for students to push back.
This is video explains why academic freedom matters. Academic freedom means the right of everyone in the academic community to pursue truth and wisdom, and to reach conclusions according to his or her own rights. Harvard students' Op-Ed is symptomatic of much broader trends across academia in recent decades.

Academic Freedom in Medieval Universities — Peter Jones / Serious Science
Historian Peter Jones on Peter Abelard, logical analysis of the Scripture and what was the role of the universities in the Middle Ages.
Read the full text on our website: http://serious-science.org/academic-freedom-in-medieval-universities-10597
'I think one mistake people often make about medieval universities when they think about them, is that they think that they were actually always these free spaces of inquiry, that actually they were peaceful environments in which students learned for the sake of learning or whatever. But actually, what you find when you dig into the history of the medieval university is there's an enormous amount of conflict, controversy. As I say, there's great violence, people are burnt at the stake as a result of things that they said in a university or in a ...

Palestine Exception: U.S. Colleges Suppress Free Speech, Academic Freedom for Students & Professors
Support our work: https://democracynow.org/give
We look at the "Palestine exception to free speech" on U.S. college campuses, where students and faculty face backlash and professional retribution for speaking up in defense of Palestinian rights amid the Israeli war on Gaza. We hear from Safiya O'Brien, a Barnard College student and organizer with the Columbia University chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, and speak with Barnard College professor Premilla Nadasen, who describes an organized campaign "to censor student and faculty speech and curtail academic freedom." The New York Civil Liberties Union recently sent a letter to the president of Barnard to protest a new policy that requires departments to submit content for their websites for approval by the Office of the Provost.

Academic Freedom—the ability to freely pursue knowledge and inquiry on campus—is under attack, and it’s important for students to push back.
This is video explains why academic freedom matters. Academic freedom means the right of everyone in the academic community to pursue truth and wisdom, and to reach conclusions according to his or her own rights. Harvard students' Op-Ed is symptomatic of much broader trends across academia in recent decades. We've seen speech administrations establishing speech codes to tell students what they're allowed to say.
And free speech zones to tell them where they're allowed to say it. This justification is usually to create a safe space for learning, but advocates forget that a fundamental way to learn is to encounter ideas with which you disagree. Encountering an argument you oppose will either shift your thinking, or broaden and deepen your understanding of your own beliefs.
Either way, such encounters foster learning and critical thinking. And they help you to grow. But too many people on campus seem afraid to hear opinions that with which they disagree or which they find offensive. Lectures and panel discussions are getting cancelled or disrupted because some students have found the speakers objectionable.
This includes speakers from across the political spectrum. Including Condoleezza Rice, Janet Napolitano, Charles Murray, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Christine Lagarde, George Will, and even the Chancellor of the University of California to name just a few. Such intolerance is harmful because it undermines the fundamental constitutional and moral right to speak your mind with intellectual honestly.
But it's especially harmful on college campuses, where it suffocates the pursuit of truth that necessarily relies upon vibrant debate and varied research in order to breathe. You can't have free inquiry if some groups have been empowered to bully others into thinking like them. As the famous educator, Alexander Meiklejohn, wrote, to be afraid of an idea, any idea, is to be unfit for self-government.
People who support free speech and open inquiry need to speak out and organize in order to save the principles of academic freedom and freedom of speech, which should be at the heart of any University. It's time for a new free speech movement.

We look at the "Palestine exception to free speech" on U.S. college campuses, where students and faculty face backlash and professional retribution for speaking up in defense of Palestinian rights amid the Israeli war on Gaza. We hear from Safiya O'Brien, a Barnard College student and organizer with the Columbia University chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, and speak with Barnard College professor Premilla Nadasen, who describes an organized campaign "to censor student and faculty speech and curtail academic freedom." The New York Civil Liberties Union recently sent a letter to the president of Barnard to protest a new policy that requires departments to submit content for their websites for approval by the Office of the Provost.
