Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
Yorba Linda, CA

The University of California - birthplace of the Free Speech Movement - launched the National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement to support and advance research, education and advocacy on these challenging issues. The center explores how the fundamental democratic principles of free speech and civic engagement must meet the challenges and opportunities of modern society. Through research, advocacy, debate and discussion, the center helps ensure that the next generation of leaders is prepared to defend and advance these values.

Chancellor Gillman will discuss the generational shift in students' views on free speech and the impact on the campus conversation. His remarks will touch on cutting-edge issues such as the cost of protecting speech, the changing nature of protests on campus and what role colleges and universities can play to ensure the robust exchange of ideas.
