Between student protests, controversial speakers, and debates over “safe spaces,” complaints about free speech on campus are louder than ever. How do school leaders respond to these gripes? And how do they balance freedom of expression – and the idea that speech can be violence?
We have two college presidents from the front lines of this debate: Roslyn Clark Artis (https://www.benedict.edu/about-benedict/office-of-the-president/) of Benedict College and Michael Roth (https://www.wesleyan.edu/president/index.html) of Wesleyan University. Both schools are part of the so-called “Campus Call for Free Expression.” (https://citizensandscholars.org/focus-areas/enable/college-presidents-for-civic-preparedness/campus-call-for-free-expression/)
