==== Academic freedom, speech, and expression ====

I welcome and support the expression and exchange of diverse perspectives in my classes. As such, I do not grant permission for any recording, sharing, observation, reporting, posting, or republication of any statements made (by me or others) in the context of a class for the purpose of wider dissemination or for any purpose not expressly permitted under applicable Northwestern rules and policies.

I am also committed to supporting student speech and engagement in social and political activity beyond the classroom. Ongoing federal investigations of Northwestern University and its personnel; deportations, visa revocations, and disciplinary actions targeting students, faculty, and staff on the basis of their speech; as well as other recent events have not altered my commitments in this regard.
