https://sts-program.mit.edu/arthur-miller-lecture-science-ethics/ #MIT_STSThe STS Program invites you to the annual Arthur Miller Lecture in Science and Ethics on Monday, October 7th at 4:00 PM in the Nexus at Hayden Library, featuring Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard, speaking on his latest book, Campus Free Speech: A Pocket Guide.
Sunstein offers a case-by-base guide to resolving the free-speech dilemma facing colleges and universities today. The First Amendment prohibits “abridging the freedom of speech,” yet laws against perjury or bribery are still constitutional. Valuing freedom of speech does not stop a university from regulating speech when doing so is necessary for its educational mission. So where is the dividing line? How can we distinguish reasonable restrictions from impermissible infringement?
Please RSVP here if you plan to attend in-person, we hope to see you there!
