Natasha Hamilton-Hart: Auckland University professor on the university's draft policy concerning academic freedom and freedom of expression

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays

Auckland University has released a draft policy regarding academic freedom and freedom of expression. As written, the policy will enable the university to establish regulations around the speech used by staff, students and visitors - if it's necessary to safeguard the well-being of others. Professor Natasha Hamilton-Hart has expressed concern with this draft policy. "I think it's a backwards step, and it will kill the atmosphere when it comes to expressing contentious or unpopular views." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
