CU takes no action on freedom of expression

The University of Colorado Board of Regents removed an item from its agenda on Thursday that, if approved, would’ve changed the university’s policy on freedom of expression.

The change proposed adding a requirement that staff, faculty and students must indicate when speaking or writing that their opinion does not reflect that of the university.

The board postponed a decision about the change in September, after students and faculty opposed it.

The item was taken off the agenda and there was no discussion. If desired, a regent can bring the item forward in the future.
