This title explains why colleges and universities live or die by free speech, which is under attack at colleges and universities today, as critics on and off campus challenge the value of freewheeling debate. The book argues that universities must protect and encourage vigorous free speech because it goes to the heart of their mission to foster freedom of thought, ideological diversity, and tolerance. Examining hot-button issues such as trigger warnings, safe spaces, hate speech, disruptive protests, speaker disinvitations, and social media, it describes the dangers of limiting speech and enforcing orthodoxy. It explains why universities must make space for all voices and points out how understanding free speech can help guide students, faculty, administrators, and alumni when faced with unpopular, hateful, or dangerous speech. Timely and vitally important, it shows why universities can succeed only by fostering more free speech, more free thought-and a greater tolerance for both.
