Task Force on Free Speech and Campus Climate

The task force will review of existing scholarship and policies on free speech, expressive activity, and campus climate in higher education, then reflect on how these perspectives map to the Berkeley campus and the current moment. Membership on the task force will include representatives from three senate committees - DECC, ACFR, and DSA, two elected members of DIVCO, and two at-large members.
