A freedom of speech event, “Disappearing Student, Disappearing Speech,” will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8, in Harvey Hall Theatre on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Stout. Hosted by the Menard Center for the Study of Institutions and Innovation, the event will feature faculty presenters Lopa Basu, Courtney Juelich and Chris Freeman as well as Stout Student Association members. They will present different perspectives on the importance of free speech on college and university campuses, with a focus on teaching and learning.
Recent arrests of students at colleges and universities have had a chilling effect on civil dialogue and freedom of speech at institutions of higher education. UW Stout faculty and the Stout Student Association invite you to a meaningful evening of dialogue about the importance of learning in an environment free from fear. Panelists include students and faculty who will present different perspectives on the importance of free speech on college and university campuses with a focus on teaching and learning. The event will be followed by a reception at Hive + Hollow @ 222 Main Street, Menomonie, WI.
