The Williams College administration has been grappling with how to adjudicate issues of free speech and expression, and there has been discussion and debate about adopting the principles of the free speech policy statement initially originating from the University of Chicago.
In response to a faculty petition on the Chicago Principles, a student and opposing faculty run counter-petition began to circulate around as well, leading President Maud Mandel to announce the formation of an ad hoc committee on inquiry and inclusion.
