On the Myth of Institutional Neutrality

Can a university ever truly be neutral in today’s social and political climate? Pushing against the tide of universities increasingly pledging to stay neutral about contentious issues, law professor Brian Soucek argues that their promises are doomed to fail—universities can’t help being opinionated.

Brian Soucek is MLK Jr Professor of Law and Chancellor’s Fellow, UC Davis School of Law

Higher Education a Year into the Trump Administration—Offense and Defense

The 12/2 Community Forum is a space for us to take stock of where we are, the challenges we face, and the opportunities ahead of us one year into the Trump administration and its higher education policies.

At the Forum, we will discuss key issues facing higher education and Hopkins, including Trump’s compact for higher education, viewpoint diversity, policies on institutional restraint, university budgets, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and challenges to academic freedom. We are also delighted to have a special message from Senator Chris Van Hollen to Hopkins AAUP and to our community.
