The role of universities in public debates has been front-page news in recent months. Questions about whether institutions of higher education, including Harvard, should take a stance on public issues—and, if so, what they should say—have been of interest on campus, in our communities, and in Washington, DC. Some universities, including the University of Chicago, have for years observed a policy of neutrality in which the institution declines to take a public position on political matters. Other institutions may choose to make statements on certain local, national, or international topics.
Harvard Radcliffe Institute and the Council on Academic Freedom at Harvard cosponsor a discussion about the idea and application of institutional neutrality. Four leading legal scholars will bring different perspectives and experiences to the conversation and engage in Q&A with one another and the audience.
