Preferred term

political activities and speech of faculty members  

Definition

  • While institutions of higher education serve as venues for participation in the marketplace of ideas, college and university officials sometimes restrict or regulate the political activities and speech of faculty members. The legal parameters pertaining to political activities and speech of college and university faculty members typically emerge as an issue of whether individuals' expression, association, or service qualifies as their rights as citizens to engage in such activities.
