As part of the UHPA Board of Director’s mission and goal to have an active and engaged membership, UHPA is conducting a series of workshops to help members become better informed and empowered. These workshops will aim to build a strong member network by strengthening its connections and increasing the dialogue, conversations, and interactions on important topics concerning faculty and the academy it serves.
In this workshop, we will explore your contractual rights governing Academic Freedom, and why they matter now more than ever. We’ll cover:
- The history and evolution of both Academic Freedom and Free Speech, and critical distinctions and overlap between them.
- The significant impact of 9/11 and other events that impacted the landscape of Academic Freedom.
- Current trends and evolving case law shaping the boundaries of Academic Freedom.
Join us to gain a deeper understanding of these concepts and their relevance in today’s complex political climate.
The workshop will be offered to UHPA Members ONLY both in-person and virtually via Zoom. There will be no recording of the workshop available. In-person attendance will be limited to the first 25 registered UHPA members and will be held at the UHPA Office. Please see details below.
If you plan on attending, please RSVP by emailing Kathy Yamashita by Tuesday, June 24th at kathy@uhpa.org and note whether you will be joining in person or via Zoom.
