Our Commitment to Free Expression
The University of Arizona’s values define who we are and what we stand for. All who work, live, study, and teach at the University of Arizona are members of the Wildcat community and strive to uphold these core values through their words, actions, and professional conduct.
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.
Purpose of the Training
This training serves as a vital resource for our campus community, aiming to:
• Educate on the importance of free expression in academic settings
• Provide guidance on expressing independent opinions respectfully
• Clarify the balance between free speech and university policies
We strive to create an environment where ideas can be freely exchanged while maintaining respect and responsibility within our university framework.
