New book explores how colleges are encouraging free speech

Season 2025 Episode 273 | 8m 25s

In his second term, President Trump has waged an all-out war on higher education. But a new book by Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber argues that despite criticism, colleges and universities are meeting the moment when it comes to permitting free speech on campus. Geoff Bennett sat down with Eisgruber to discuss “Terms of Respect: How Colleges Get Free Speech Right.”
