"Freedom of expression and inquiry are crucial features that underpin any intellectually serious institution of higher learning. The highest mission of a university—the pursuit of truth—is not possible in a campus environment where censorship, marginalization, and 'cancel culture' abound for those with unpopular ideas. Ensuring that Princeton remains a place where academic freedom is protected is a responsibility of every member of the University community—from current students to faculty and alumni."Matthew Wilson '24 is a politics major at Princeton.

" The University is uniquely positioned to facilitate an exchange of intellectual ideas in order to fulfill its truth-seeking mission. This mission can only be fulfilled in an environment where free speech is encouraged and students feel comfortable to share their views and challenge each other’s opinions in honest, civil conversations.

"Universities have a duty to shape responsible and inquisitive citizens, individuals that cultivate their own critical beliefs and contribute to the pluralism which underlines the strength of our democracy. When we neglect or hinder free speech we hamper our ability and confidence to have the difficult and often uncomfortable conversations which I believe are the backbone of personal growth and what it means to truly have a transformative educational experience."
