Following numerous high-profile incidents involving provocative speakers and organizations on college and university campuses, student affairs leaders are revisiting free speech policies and practices to ensure alignment with the First Amendment. Student affairs educators are also exercising care and precaution to maintain the integrity of their institutional commitments to diversity and inclusion. This issue of "Policy and Practice" describes First Amendment principles, provides pertinent case studies, and summarizes effective practices to help leaders manage controversial speakers and demonstrators while promoting inclusive campus environments. In addition to the architecture of federal law, court interpretation, and published best practices in the field, interviews with five vice presidents for student affairs who managed their campus's planning for and responses to controversial speakers and demonstrations following the 2016 presidential election guided the development of this brief. Their campuses range from midsize to large public and private colleges and universities in rural and urban settings. This publication is a guidepost for discussion and consideration for professionals who are tasked with leading and managing institutional planning for and response to controversial speech and demonstrations on campus. It should be used to support the necessary conversations with senior leaders, attorneys, campus safety and facilities personnel, and others who must be involved in planning for and responding to controversial speakers and events. Upholding free speech is a necessary, but sometimes complicated, task for leaders in higher education. This brief serves as a resource to help inform discussion among campus leadership teams that must carefully consider the factors that ensure their campus's policies and practices protect free speech rights and uphold the integrity of their mission and values.
