Dear Members of the SUNY Oswego Community-
In my message to the campus last month, I discussed the importance of free speech and open, respectful discourse; indeed, they are vital to institutions of higher learning and fundamental to our democracy. As we approach the second month of the academic year, I once again ask all university community members to become familiar with the policies and guidelines that exist to allow us to nurture and support a university climate where inquiry and expression flourish.
These policies, which have been updated recently, provide clear guidelines on the appropriate "time, place, and manner" for expressions of speech. They aim to minimize disruptions and maintain the integrity of our educational mission, as well as ensure that all voices can be heard in a setting that respects the rights of all participants. Understanding and adhering to these policies can improve our ability to engage with one another in meaningful and productive ways.
If you have any questions, please direct them to [email protected].
Remain well,
Peter O. Nwosu
President
