RESET
FREE SPEECH AT YOUR UNIVERSITY
We're launching a national, alumni-led campaign to reset the conversation around free speech on campus. You can be part of it.
Free Speech is Under Threat
Without robust protections for free speech on our college and university campuses, these institutions not only fail to uphold a tradition of excellence but risk becoming irrelevant.
AFSA exists to preserve the pursuit of truth in American higher education by equipping alumni to promote free speech, academic freedom, and viewpoint diversity at their alma maters.

Universities frequently fail to teach free speech fundamentals—or enforce protest policies clearly or consistently.
It’s time for alumni to lead the way
