Brown University Statement Of University Values And Voice

This document defines the core institutional values and outlines guidelines for the public voice of Brown University. It establishes four core values: the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, academic freedom and freedom of expression, a commitment to openness and diversity of ideas, perspectives, and experiences, and responsibility for a thriving academic community. The Statement of University Voice mandates that public statements or actions intentionally expressing a position must directly advance and defend the University's mission, refraining from unrelated topics to uphold public trust and academic freedom.
