CSU launched the First Amendment Conversation Series in December 2017 to help faculty and staff understand the rights and restrictions of free speech and peaceful assembly on campus. The series is designed to provide resources, information, and best practices for navigating issues as they arise at CSU. Each session begins with a panel presentation of campus experts, followed by extended time for audience Q & A.
