<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">At the meeting of the Association of American Universities this past week, the chancellors and presidents crafted a statement strongly affirming our commitment to supporting
free speech and open expression on our respective campuses. It is particularly appropriate timing coming in the same week we held a Critical Conversation on this topic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I believe this statement that I share with you below reflects our own values and aspirations here at Illinois. As a university community, we must remain committed to
creating an environment where every idea can be heard and where every individual has the freedom to voice a perspective.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The free and open exchange of ideas and information is fundamental to the educational mission of AAU universities. The robust discussions and debates that occur at research
universities have been central to the advancement of democracy, the creation of new knowledge, the fostering of educational excellence, and the promotion of social progress. As heads of these institutions we are unequivocally committed to preserving and honoring
this proud heritage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">While we may deem some speech to be odious, disgraceful, and antithetical to our values, our campuses are and should remain places where ideas can be expressed free
of disruption, intimidation, and violence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We are committed to preparing our students, faculty, and staff to engage in thoughtful, non-disruptive debate. Our collective responsibility to educate our campus communities
on their rights and responsibilities is of the utmost importance and one we embrace. While protecting the expression of ideas, we will also take all steps necessary to promote an inclusive and non-discriminatory learning environment, and protect our communities
from those who seek to promote conflict rather than conversation, debate, and advocacy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We will continue to prepare students, faculty, and staff to engage in frank, open, and often challenging discussions. Our universities will also work to ensure that
campus policies on speech, events, dissent, and other protected activities are publicly and conveniently available. We believe these actions are critical for our institutions to remain at the forefront of ensuring that substantive and non-violent speech is
fully protected and welcomed in our society.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In restating these values, we aspire to be a model for society of how a free and democratic people should work through disagreements and arrive at a deeper understanding
of important issues and of each other.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
