Terms of Respect

In Terms of Respect, Princeton University president and constitutional scholar Christopher L. Eisgruber defends the state of free speech on college campuses, highlighting how students actively participate in meaningful discussions on sensitive issues. He argues that while misunderstandings and societal polarization are challenging, universities can serve as models for fostering civil discourse, respecting diverse perspectives, and balancing free speech with principles of equality and respect. The book offers an optimistic perspective on the role of higher education in navigating the complexities of free expression in today's world.
