Diversity of Thought and Freedom of Expression
In a special session, the University of Michigan Board of Regents voted to adopt a new set of principles to reaffirm the institution’s commitment to free speech. The “University of Michigan Principles on Diversity of Thought and Freedom of Expression” are a clear reminder, both to those in our community and to those who look to U-M as a leader in higher education, that we “enthusiastically embrace our responsibility to stimulate and support diverse ideas and model constructive engagement with different viewpoints.” Doing so is essential to discovery, creativity and learning.
I encourage you to spend some time reading this document and considering how we can all live out these ideals.
