 is indispensable on college campuses: allowing varied views and frank exch
 anges of opinion is a core component of the educational enterprise and the
  pursuit of truth. But free speech does not mean a free-for-all. The First
  Amendment prohibits “abridging the freedom of speech\,” yet laws agai
 nst perjury or bribery\, for example\, are still constitutional. In the sa
 me way\, valuing freedom of speech does not stop a university from regulat
 ing speech when doing so is necessary for its educational mission. So wher
 e is the dividing line? How can we distinguish reasonable restrictions fro
 m impermissible infringement?\n\nIn this pragmatic\, no-nonsense explainer
 \, Cass Sunstein takes us through a wide range of scenarios involving stud
 ents\, professors\, and administrators. He discusses why it’s consistent
  with the First Amendment to punish students who shout down a speaker\, bu
 t not those who chant offensive slogans\; why a professor cannot be fired 
 for writing a politically charged op-ed\, yet a university might legitimat
 ely consider an applicant’s political views when deciding whether to hir
 e her. He explains why private universities are not legally bound by the F
 irst Amendment yet should\, in most cases\, look to follow it. And he addr
 esses the thorny question of whether a university should officially take s
 ides on public issues or deliberately keep the institution outside the fra
 y.\n\n
