Explore a thought-provoking panel discussion on the state of free speech and academic freedom in American universities. Delve into the complex interplay between student activism, intellectual integrity, and the challenges of balancing freedom of expression with respect for diverse perspectives. Examine the rise of trigger warnings, calls for resignations, and disinvitations of speakers on college campuses. Analyze whether today's students are more sensitive or if there's a growing intolerance in academic environments. Engage with expert panelists as they debate the core purpose of higher education as a space for the free exchange of ideas and consider whether intellectual integrity is at risk. Gain insights from a diverse group of scholars, journalists, and student leaders on the future of free speech in academia and its implications for society at large.
