The recommendations focused on addressing personal attacks over disagreements around ideas, which the subcommittee said in its report are “demeaning and damaging to free speech.” David Palumbo-Liu, chair of the Planning and Policy Board Subcommittee on Campus Climate, provides a report during Thursday’s Faculty Senate meeting.
