The Chicago Statement: The Gold Standard for Committing to Free Expression

Model Speech Policy

Censorship of protected speech is becoming more frequent on today’s campuses. Speakers are de-platformed, students are silenced. And often, punishment is levied on speakers engaging in expression that is protected by the First Amendment. But what can be done to change that?

It is the gold standard for committing to free expression.
