As culture wars continue to engulf universities, important questions about the limits of expressive freedom on campus have become hot topics. Are rights different for faculty, staff, students, and administrators? Do different limits apply in the quad, in classrooms, in student residences? Do academic freedom and freedom of expression mean different things? Do the Canadian Charter and the Quebec Charter apply?

Panelists:
Jamie Cameron, Professor Emerita of Constitutional Law, Osgoode Hall Law School
Louis-Philippe Lampron, Professeur titulaire, Faculté de droit, Université Laval
Richard Moon, Distinguished Professor and Professor of Law, University of Windsor
Vershawn Young, Professor Black Studies, Communication Arts, and English, University of Waterloo
