Cambridge University Votes to Amend Rules That Curtailed Free Speech
A number of academics and commentators congratulated the university for “a win for freedom of speech.”
“Congratulations to Arif Ahmed, member of the Free Speech Union’s Advisory Council, on his victory in Cambridge. The pro-free speech amendment got 1,316 votes, compared to 162 for the other side. Cambridge has now restored its reputation as a defender of academic free speech,” the Free Speech Union (FSU) wrote on Twitter.
Over 1,500 members of the Regent House, the 7,000-member governing body of Cambridge University, voted on Tuesday on Ahmed’s three amendments for the “University Statement on Freedom of Speech,” originally approved by the University on Dec. 9.
