The First Amendment and Freedom of Expression on College Campuses

CWRU Law Professors Jonathan Adler and Bryan Adamson will present constitutional, statutory, and policy considerations in the regulation of freedom of expression on college campuses. Professors Adler and Adamson will address core First Amendment principles of civil disobedience, political speech and others such as time, place and manner restrictions; “hate” speech, harassment, incitement, and “true threats”; counter-speech, hostile audiences, and the “heckler’s veto;” due process, and the distinctive First Amendment rights and obligations of public versus private institutions. Professors Adler and Adamson will engage these concepts in the context of examining our own campus policies and practices.
