Faculty members occupy an important, albeit unique, position on college and university campuses. As we enter the new year, campuses will face challenges related to academic freedom and faculty discourse in response to the 2024 presidential election and the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza. They will also be tasked with managing backlash to these faculty activities by the greater campus community, media outlets, and donors. Counsel must balance these conflicting interests while maintaining a legally compliant campus environment.

Please join us for this two-hour webinar in which two experienced NACUA member-presenters will cover topics, including:

• An overview and legal update of academic freedom on campus;
• Updates on relevant faculty-related issues, including free speech and protest activities;
• Faculty social media use;
• Impact on external stakeholders;
• Relevant policies and laws; and
• Practical suggestions for managing these issues on campus.
