On Campus Free Speech and Academic Freedom: Erwin Chemerinsky in Conversation with Professor Daniel Sargent
Wednesday, April 8, 2026 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
In his new book with Howard Gillman, Dean Chemerinsky explains the application of academic freedom and the First Amendment to the free expression challenges facing universities:
- How should schools handle disruptive protests?
- When should schools “speak?”
- How should schools manage tensions between speech and belonging?
- How much should schools spend to protect controversial events?
Join us for a lunchtime conversation led by Professor Daniel Sargent. Sponsored by the Berkeley Initiative for Freedom of Inquiry (BIFI)
