Description
Cass R. Sunstein's concise guide to resolving free-speech dilemmas at colleges and universities provides a nuanced exploration of the complex relationship between freedom of expression and institutional regulation. Free speech is essential on college campuses, allowing for varied views and frank exchanges of opinion, but it does not mean a complete lack of boundaries. Laws against perjury or bribery, for example, are still constitutional despite protecting free speech. In this book, Sunstein examines the dividing line between reasonable restrictions and impermissible infringement, discussing scenarios involving students, professors, and administrators. Sunstein offers practical insights into how universities can balance their commitment to free speech with the need to regulate speech when necessary for their educational mission.
