First Amendment

As a community of engaged scholars and learners, we are committed to freedom of expression, academic freedom, and collaborative inquiry. We support creativity and innovation by valuing all voices and engaging in respectful discourse. While we may not always agree with the ideas and opinions of others, we must honor their right to express them.

Please explore and utilize this website as a resource. If you have questions or concerns regarding First Amendment activities, or for rally or protest planning assistance, please contact the Dean of Students Office at 520-621-7057.

However, with a mindset of “Fearless Inquiry,” you can navigate the many perspectives you may encounter as a student both in and beyond the classroom. Watch this video on how you can develop a "Fearless Inquiry" mindset, an idea promoted by the College of Humanities.
