On a university campus, such as the University of Chicago, the freedom individuals have in expressing ideas is not the same as the freedom the institution has taking positions. Provost Thomas Rosenbaum organized a Friday, May 8 forum to discuss the "Role of Free Speech on Campus," and a full range of responses emerged as a faculty panel debated such issues along with members of the University community."Throughout its history, the University of Chicago has embraced and defended the value of intense inquiry and informed argument," Rosenbaum told an audience of about 50 students, faculty and staff."Free speech is not easy. We will explore today tensions related to creating and sustaining an environment that allows for open, rigorous, and intense inquiry and debate, while at the same time fostering civil discourse, both on campus and in the classroom," Rosenbaum said. The faculty panel, which Mark Hansen, Dean of the Division of Social Sciences, moderated, included Geoffrey Stone, the Edward Levi Distinguished Service Professor in the Law School and the College; Margaret M. Mitchell, Professor in the Divinity School; and Ramón A. Gutiérrez, the Preston & Sterling Morton Distinguished Service Professor in History and the College. As their point of reference, the panelists used the report of the Kalven Committee on the University's Role in Political and Social Action. The report, issued in 1967, describes the role of the University and its students and faculty on issues of corporate and individual expression.
