Executive Director of Speech First, Cherise Trump, and Elizabeth Spievak discuss the state of free speech on college campuses. Cherise gives us an overview of her work at Speech First to promote open discourse as an essential component of a comprehensive education. We talk about the importance of being exposed to different and challenging ideas to build strength and resilience, as well as the difficulties faced by students and faculty alike in the current socio political climate. Throughout, the issues and challenges of free speech are framed in the context of liberal values.
