‘Terms of Respect: How Colleges Get Free Speech Right’

In his new book, “Terms of Respect: How Colleges Get Free Speech Right,” President Eisgruber draws on his background as a constitutional scholar and tenure as Princeton’s president to examine the clash of ideas on campuses across the United States and the responsibilities of higher education institutions in a polarized society.

This conversation will explore the issues he examines in “Terms of Respect,” counter misperceptions about free speech and academic freedom, and highlight the role research universities play in American democracy. 

Speakers: Christopher L. Eisgruber ’83, president of Princeton University, in conversation with Gadi Dechter, the University’s vice president for communications and government affairs.


TigerSide Chats is a virtual event series that is free and open to the public.  Registration information coming soon.
