In November 2016, President Liebowitz convened a Presidential Task Force on Free Expression “to come together to reflect on and re-examine our university’s policies and practices related to academic freedom and free expression.”
The University’s Principles of Free Speech and Free Expression were adopted by the Board of Trustees in 2018.
In 2024, the Task Force was engaged to:
- Examine our current Principles of Free Speech and Free Expression and make recommendations for changes or improvements.
- Review the processes and protocols Brandeis uses to apply these Principles to our academic and co-curricular activities, and make recommendations for changes or improvements.
