Summary of Changes from Previous Version

Minor Amendment – July 2021:

This document affirms freedom of speech and academic freedom as core UNE values that demonstrate UNE's commitment to support a person's right to freedom of speech to the broadest extent possible, and consistent with the core values and functioning of the University and establish, promote, develop and maintain supports and avenues for the fullest exercise of freedom of speech, academic freedom and free intellectual inquiry.
