Campus Interviews about Free Speech

Adrianne.interviewThis is a video our media group composed. We interviewed many students at RU and asked 3 simple questions:
1. What is the 1st amendment?
2. What does it mean to you?
3. Do you feel restricted at RU?

Academic Freedom

Teddy Roosevelt picture from Duke University.
Teddy Roosevelt speaks at Duke University, 1903: “You stand for Academic Freedom, for the right of private judgment, for a duty more incumbent upon the scholar than upon any other man, to tell the truth as he sees it, to claim for himself and to give to others the largest liberty in seeking after the truth.” - US President Teddy Roosevelt, 1903
