A Fine Balance: Academic Freedom and Academic Responsibility

What does it mean for professors to have full freedom in the classroom and in their research? What are the requirements of academic responsibility? Former college presidents, Judith Shapiro and Brian Rosenberg joined us to plumb the depths of the various aspects of academic freedom and the limits of viewpoint diversity on campus. Drawing on their experience as former college presidents, Judith and Brian reflected upon the complex interplay of academic freedom and academic responsibility and shared their expertise.

This event originally aired live on 04/09/2021 and a video recording is available here.
