Free Speech at NMU
NMU has a deep and longstanding commitment to free speech and expressive activities. The Preamble to the Student Code documents this commitment. Free inquiry and free expression are essential to the mission of NMU.
Throughout the website linked below, you will find links to policies, ordinances, guidance, and other University resources related to free speech and free expression. It is the hope of the University that this clearinghouse of material will help stakeholders understand the University’s approach to free speech and free expression as well as the context and limitations that surround the issues.
