New Challenges to Freedom of Expression in Higher Education

Following a string of widely publicized, polarizing events on college campuses – including violence, intimidation, threats, and counter-threats – college administrators and their counsel are facing unique challenges. Finding the balance between the First Amendment rights of students, faculty, and invited speakers, and maintaining a safe and respectful environment for the campus community, has never been more difficult.

Ballard Spahr invites you to attend a webinar presented by lawyers from both our First Amendment and Higher Education practice groups, who will discuss timely issues such as:

• Applying the First Amendment in public and private education
• Protest rallies, incitement, and true threats
• Student speech
• Bullying and harassment
• Faculty speech
• Liability for college publications
