This webinar is not about student protests, provocative speakers, bias incidents, or speech codes. Rather, it is about the moments when the institution itself is the speaker, whether through a presidential proclamation, social media account, or other platform. Join us for a 2-hour webinar where presenters will explore the legal and reputational contours of institutional speech at public and private universities, and in so doing address:
- The Government Speech Doctrine, institutional academic freedom, and policy frameworks for institutional speech;
- Public statements by senior leaders;
- University speech through regulated social media accounts and websites; and
- Legal, reputational, and other risks.
Who Should Attend?
This webinar will be of interest to in-house and outside counsel to colleges and universities, as well as other higher education administrators with responsibilities related to advising on communications from higher education institutions and/or institutional leaders.
