Committee of Enquiry/Freedom of Speech Ref 11: Freeman

Mike Freeman’s response to Committee of Enquiry Chair Keith Trace’s memorandum (circulated 11th June) on freedom of speech at the University, and how the three-part statement of principles it contained might apply to the events of 7th May; Freeman’s response includes a critique of the statement in the memo, and an extended discussion/analysis of the right to free speech as it may be seen to apply to the Inch incident; Freeman argues that freedom of speech is far from straightforward in terms of either definition or application
