Academic Freedom and Cultural Perspectives
Challenges for Higher Ed Today and Tomorrow
Join us for an important conversation on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 as a panel of recognized national experts examines a vital issue facing higher education today -- academic freedom and its potential impact on cultural perspectives. Hamline University strongly supports both of these concepts, which need not compete with each other. Our panel will discuss issues relative to both concepts and how they can synergize to create a more dynamic educational atmosphere.
