Join Harvard Alumni for Free Speech, 1636 Forum, and the Foundation for Individual Rights & Expression (FIRE) Chief Research Officer Sean Stevens & Campus Advocacy Chief of Staff Connor Murnane for an exclusive live Zoom discussion about Harvard’s results in FIRE’s new 2026 College Free Speech Rankings.

This annual survey, the largest of its kind, captures the state of free expression on campuses across the country. Which universities are leading the way? Which are falling behind? And what do these rankings reveal about the culture of open inquiry in higher education today?

Our panel will highlight the most significant findings, explain the methodology behind the rankings, and take your questions on what this means for students, alumni, and faculty who care about protecting academic freedom.

Don’t miss this chance to hear directly from FIRE as we discuss the new rankings.
