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.

Brown 2026 is an initiative focused on examining the vital role of research and teaching universities in fostering open and democratic societies. This faculty-led, interdisciplinary initiative leverages Brown University's strengths as a rigorous, multi-disciplinary research institution and a community of learners. It aims to confront complex and contested historical issues, including the university's own past ties to racial slavery, and address current questions facing pluralistic democracies through rigorous discussion and interdisciplinary collaboration across the Arts, Humanities, social, physical, and Life Sciences.
