Freedom of Speech and Academic Freedom: Where are we now?
The higher education sector continues to navigate a rapidly evolving freedom of speech landscape. Following the implementation of the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act and subsequent regulatory and legal developments, institutions are facing heightened scrutiny and continuing uncertainty around how these requirements will operate in practice.
In this webinar, our higher education specialists will explore where the sector stands, drawing together the latest legal and regulatory developments and considering what universities and colleges should be doing in response. The session will provide a practical overview of the current position, recent developments and what institutions should be keeping a close eye on over the coming months.
Across a series of short contributions, the speakers will provide insight on:
Recent freedom of speech and academic freedom case law
Updated Office for Students (OfS) advice
Navigating the free speech complaints scheme, including its interaction with other procedures
The forthcoming OfS conditions of registration and their practical implications for providers
We hope you can join us.
