Defending Academic Freedom

In recent weeks, the Trump Administration has escalated intimidation efforts against Harvard University and other private colleges, by cancelling billions in federal funding, and threatening to revoke tax-exempt status unless the schools make major changes to their hiring and teaching practices. In this event, ACS will host Harvard Law Professor Andrew Manuel Crespo to make sense of the legal strategies behind the administration's attacks on higher education, and how the academy can defend its independence.

Featuring:

Andrew Manuel Crespo, Morris Wasserstein Professor of Law at Harvard University, General Counsel, AAUP-Harvard Faculty Chapter

Taonga Leslie, Director of Policy and Program for Racial Justice, American Constitution Society
