Speakers
Villanova University Widger School of Law's Eleanor H. McCullen Center for Law, Religion and Public Policy is set to host Keith Whittington, William Nelson Cromwell professor of politics at Princeton University, as a speaker.
The program is scheduled for 4 p.m. Nov. 12 in the Laurence E. Hirsch '71 Classroom at Villanova.
The lecture will focus on Whittington's book "Speak Freely: Why Universities Must Defend Free Speech," which won the PROSE Award for best book in education and the Heterodox Academy Award for Exceptional Scholarship.
The book examines the debate around free speech on campuses and argues that free speech is the lifeblood of universities, and it posits that universities must make room for free speech from all sides of the political spectrum.
The lecture is approved by the Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board for one substantive CLE credit.
