“Should Harvard Embrace Institutional Neutrality?”
The role of universities in public debates has been front-page news in recent months. Questions about whether institutions of higher education, including Harvard, should take a stance on public issues—and what they should say, if so—have been of interest on campus, in our communities, and in Washington. Some universities, including the University of Chicago, have for years observed a policy of neutrality in which the institution declines to take a public position on political matters. Other institutions may choose to make statements on certain local, national, or international topics.
This event is presented by the Harvard Radcliffe Institute and the Council on Academic Freedom at Harvard. Event time is 4 p.m. - 5:15 p.m. ET, 3 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. CT.
