The Russell Group’s statement of principles on universities protecting freedom of speech

The @RussellGroup’s statement of principles on universities protecting freedom of speech.

Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said:

“Free speech underpins our democratic society and our universities must be places where students and academics can express themselves freely, challenge ideas and form their own world views.

“We are committed to upholding these values, and I welcome these principles from The Russell Group as a positive step in the right direction.

“All universities and colleges should think hard about their own policies, and what they can do to further protect freedom of speech and academic freedom on campus.”
