2023 Freedom of Thought Conference
What policies and practices can states adopt to encourage freedom of thought within higher
education? Do state efforts to put constraints on curricula, bar DEI-focused administrators,
and limit faculty control of tenure decisions advance or hinder the cause of academic
freedom? When claims to academic freedom collide, whose freedoms should the state
preserve?
