Campus Free Expression Project

We work to restore open discourse on college campuses in order to create independent thinkers and engaged citizens.

The Campus Free Expression Project supports colleges and universities in fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for robust intellectual exchange. We work with college and university leaders in developing policies and programs that promote civil discourse, free expression, and academic freedom and suit each campus’ unique history and mission.
