Free Speech Orientation Materials
Freedom of speech is a hallmark of any public university. ASU is committed to the sharing of different ideas and points of view. At times, you’ll hear things you don’t agree with or that you find offensive. You have a choice. You can choose to engage. You can choose to debate. You can choose to walk away.

Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (F.I.R.E) videos
Arizona State University has a long-standing commitment to Free Speech - a commitment that the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression ("F.I.R.E.") recognized when it gave ASU its "green light" rating. F.I.R.E. commended "the fact that ASU has ensured that its policies and regulations fully protect the freedom of expression of its students and faculty."
These videos will show you more regarding the First Amendment, the importance of hearing different points of view particularly in the higher education setting, and the value of expanding inclusive dialogues across world views to enhance creativity, learning and critical thinking.
