Regents to consider updated policy on free expression

The University of Nebraska released a proposed policy to clarify and reinforce the NU system's long-standing commitment to freedom of expression. The Board of Regents will consider the proposal at its Thursday (Jan. 25) meeting.

The proposal was developed by a systemwide working group appointed by President Hank Bounds.

Board of Regents Chairman Bob Whitehouse, who, together with Vice Chairman Rob Schafer, will bring the policy to the full board for consideration, described the proposal as a supplement to existing board policy that underscores the university system's commitment to free expression for all members of the academic community, starting with the 53,000 students who attend University of Nebraska institutions.
