dc.description.abstractEverywhere in higher education, there is a rhetorical affirmation of the values of free speech and the development of informed citizens. North Carolina’s state motto in Latin is Esse Quam Videri, which translates to “To Be Rather Than to Seem.” So it is reasonable to research what kind of speech actually exists on North Carolina campuses, particularly about public policy issues. Examination of official campus rules about free speech, as the Martin Center and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education have done, is a good starting point. Campus climate surveys where students are asked if they feel free to express themselves and whether they might forcefully oppose a speaker they might not like are helpful. Understanding the partisan identifications of faculty can provide some context.en_US
dc.description.sponsorshipI am greatly indebted to Rabbi Adam Shulman, UMBC School of Public Policy graduate, for his indefatigable work in examining the campus calendars that are the basis for this report. Rabbi Shulman was one of the principal researchers for my book Silenced Stages: The Loss of Academic Freedom and Campus Policy Debates (Carolina Academic Press, 2019). The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal and the John William Pope Foundation provided the financial support for this research and I am grateful. The ideas expressed are solely my own and do not necessarily reflect those of any organization.en_US
