They also provide a forum where we can discuss difficult and complex issues, hold arguments up to scrutiny, and where people can learn from each other and work towards solutions. The protection afforded by academic freedom, within limits prescribed by law, is a foundational value of every university, necessary to our work to expand the boundaries of human understanding and support a diverse, inclusive and democratic society.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We must always defend the right of students, professors and instructional staff to express their views and conduct free inquiry. It is, however, not required that we agree with the content of that speech. Free expression, especially on controversial topics, is best regulated by vigorous counter- speech. It is not appropriate for the University to decide which side of a particular issue is correct. This function should be the exclusive preserve of peer review within the Academy, and robust dialogue within civil society beyond the University\u2019s walls.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"btn btn-dark rounded-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/president\/2020\/09\/29\/yorks-commitment-to-academic-freedom-engagement-de-york-envers-la-liberte-universitaire\/\">Read the Full Letter from the President, September 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Universities are meant to be places where ideas can be openly \u2013 and respectfully \u2013 explored, expressed, and exchanged.
