Student Voices:

This website exists as an ongoing collaborative experiment in digital publishing and information sharing. Because all members of the School of Art community have the ability to add new content and pages, not all of the content on this website reflects the School of Art’s official position.

The Yale School of Art is committed to the protection of free inquiry and expression in the classroom and throughout the school community. In this, the School reflects the University’s commitment to and policy on freedom of expression as eloquently stated in the Woodward Report. In 1975, the Yale Corporation declared that “protecting and nourishing freedom of speech is a primary obligation of all members of the University community. Even the most unpopular views should be heard at Yale without interference.” See studentlife.yale.edu/guidance-regarding-free-expression-and-peaceable-assembly-students-yale.
