Freedom of Expression | Ohio University

Freedom of expression is the foundation of an Ohio University education. Open debate and deliberation, the critique of beliefs and theories, and uncensored academic inquiry are all essential to our shared mission of discovery and dissemination of knowledge. Differing opinions challenge our openness and ideals, which ultimately can foster growth. At the same time, we want to ensure the safety of all involved in any events of expression at our institution. Safety of all involved is our utmost concern when opposing dialogues confront one another.
