Given recent events at Georgetown University Law Center and other law schools, I think it's an opportune time to remind readers of this blog of the statement my faculty adopted in August 2020. I wish I could say that many other law school faculties have issued similar statements, but to my knowledge none have.
Statement of Faculty Principles
In light of the current state of dialogue and debate in this country, the faculty of the Antonin Scalia Law School hereby reaffirms our commitment to freedom of inquiry and freedom of speech for all members of our community.
Starting some years ago, many schools have promulgated official speech codes that seek to prevent students from expressing unpopular opinions. Thanks largely to the efforts of Scalia Law faculty, George Mason University as a whole has earned the highest rating for freedom of speech from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. We are proud of that accomplishment.
