Freedom of speech and freedom of expression are the University’s foundation. It’s what allows our teaching, our research, our search for knowledge and truth, our innovation, and our service to thrive. We value our varied viewpoints, the exchange of ideas, the challenges to conventional wisdom, and uninhibited discourse and debate.
The free expression of ideas is essential to our very purpose. Without it, we will not be empowered to fulfill our mission, to explore diverse opinions, provide challenging critique, and hone the art of debate and argument.
At the University of Miami, we have and will continue to embrace the values of freedom of expression and the freedom of speech. With that comes the responsibility for each member of our community to treat each other with dignity and respect, and to be respectful of differing and diverse points of view and ideas. We will not be distracted by the challenges seen on other colleges campuses. The University of Miami will safeguard these values and our students, our faculty, and our community.
