University of California Seeks to Create ‘Right’ to Be ‘Free From Acts and Expressions of Intolerance’
Just months after the University of California was criticized for its “recognizing microaggressions” handout, the University of California Board of Regents will be considering a policy to make the university system “free from acts and expressions of intolerance.”
Eugene Volokh of the Washington Post reports the UC Regents Committee on Education Policy will be meeting to discuss a “statement of principles against intolerance.”
The background for the proposed policy reads, “The Regents are strongly committed to a University community that upholds the core principles of respect, inclusion, academic freedom, and the free and open exchange of ideas. Accordingly, as discussed at the July Regents meeting, a statement reflecting these principles has been developed and is outlined below for discussion.”
The policy reiterates, “The University of California is committed to protecting its bedrock values of respect, inclusion, and academic freedom. Free expression and the open exchange of ideas – principles enshrined in our national and state Constitutions – are part of the University’s fiber.”
“So, too, is tolerance, and University of California students, faculty, and staff must respect the dignity of each person within the UC community,” the policy continues.
Despite claiming, “Everyone in the University community has the right to study, teach, conduct research, and work free from acts and expressions of intolerance,” the policy insists, the statement “does not apply to the free exchange of ideas in keeping with the principles of academic freedom and free speech”
