The Wayne State Journal of Law in Society hosted a symposium exploring how crackdowns on campus speech across the country tested universities’ stated commitments to free speech and academic freedom.

The responses prompt numerous legal and policy questions on the fragility of free speech rights, especially as they apply to racial minorities.
