BoardCommittee on Free Expression Committee Meeting
The committee reviewed Arizona's open meeting law obligations and the statutory charge requiring the submission of an annual report.

The committee also noted the universities' national rankings in free speech, administrative processes for handling free expression allegations, and the allocation of student activity fees. The meeting concluded with the committee's approval of the proposed report for submission to the board.
