Terms of Respect: Free Speech, Academic Freedom, and the Faculty

FEBRUARY 6, 2026 | 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM (Eastern)

This Ivy+ FAN Virtual Colloquium brings Christopher Eisgruber, President of Princeton University, in conversation with Laurie Patton, President of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Eisgruber is author of the recently published book, Terms of Respect: How Colleges Get Free Speech Right, which will inform Patton's lines of inquiry into Eisgruber's perspective.
