Navigating Free Speech on Campus event

Workshop completed

This one day event will explore the complexities around the new freedom of speech legislation for HE institutions. It will examine how the boundary between the new legislation and the Equality Act might be navigated, and explore what is and what isn’t permissible within the law in the context of an academic community.

Using members’ real life examples, including outputs from a recent employment tribunal case, participants will work through the thought processes required to be able to draw conclusions around what is lawful and what is acceptable with regard to free speech on campus.

Participants and contributors will be AHUA members with legal input from the AHUA’s national sponsor. Discussions will take place under the Chatham House rule to enable participants to discuss openly potentially sensitive scenarios they may be facing in their institutions.
