Do I Need a Free Speech & Academic Freedom Lawyer?
While the college campus is supposed to be the quintessential “marketplace of ideas,” the reality today is very different. In the current climate, it often seems that saying anything that goes against the prevailing campus orthodoxy can put your career and your reputation in jeopardy. If you find yourself in this situation, you need a free speech and academic freedom lawyer who understands your rights and will fight to protect them.
Issues of Faculty Free Speech
It used to be understood that college and university faculty would expose students to a wide range of ideas, including ideas they might disagree with or even be offended by. After all, without exposure to a wide range of viewpoints, how are students to deepen their understanding of the world and reach their own conclusions? Now, however, faculty – especially those whose classes touch on controversial or sensitive topics – are increasingly facing calls for censorship and discipline based on their speech in the classroom, or their expression of their own views outside of class. If you are a professor who believes that your free speech rights have been violated, our firm is here to help.
