The government has published its higher education (freedom of speech) bill. Under it, universities will have a new duty to secure freedom of speech for staff members, students and visiting speakers. Anyone (âa personâ) will be able to sue (âbring civil proceedingsâ) where they believe that a university or student union has failed to protect free speech. An official with the Orwellian title of âdirector for freedom of speech and academic freedomâ will have to decide if courses, talks and university policies maintain academic freedom.
