A university is a place where competing ideas are expressed and debated. While you are at Idaho State, you will likely hear controversial speakers on campus and challenging statements in your classes. Exposure to ideas or beliefs that may be different from your own is part of the learning and growth that are the essence of the college experience.
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution prohibits the government from making laws that abridge the freedom of speech. State universities like ISU are government entities and therefore may not restrict the legally-protected speech of students, faculty, staff, or others.
The related concept of academic freedom gives faculty members the freedom to introduce a variety of topics and viewpoints in the classroom, including controversial material. The incredible variety of topics you will encounter in your time at Idaho State is what makes this environment so special. READ MORE
