Assembly LIX: Free Speech, Free Expression and Free Inquiry at Yale
Friday, April 26 through Saturday, April 27, 2002

The Assembly featured an opening presentation by Dean Richard Brodhead and Professor Gaddis Smith on the guiding philosophy that informs Yale's policies on free speech. Subsequent sessions focused on participatory discussions of issues involving both student and faculty expressions of opinion. We also presented a graphic demonstration of free speech at Yale with "Free Speech Day at Yale," in Beinecke Plaza on Saturday morning. This "Hyde Park at Yale" experience allowed alumni to sample the broad spectrum of views held by Yale students. The Assembly also included the annual Yale Medal Dinner and the Community Service Summer Fellowship Luncheon.


The presentations of Dean Richard Brodhead and Professor Gaddis Smith are now available online.
The Woodward and Adair reports are Yale free speech foundation documents and are available online.
