    Special Episode: “Administrative Fiat” or “Living Tradition”?: Annotating the Kalven Report

    Episode Description In 1967, University President George Beadle appointed a faculty committee—chaired by First Amendment scholar Harry Kalven Jr.—to prepare “a statement on the University’s role in political and social action.”    Journalist Jamie Kalven, Harry Kalven Jr.’s son, sat down with the _Maroon_ to walk through the Kalven Report. In the 14 years he spent editing his father’s manuscript on the First Amendment and the American tradition of freedom of speech, Jamie Kalven reviewed hundreds of Harry Kalven Jr.’s papers to familiarize himself with his father’s thinking.    Providing context on his father’s writing, Jamie Kalven argues that we, now in a moment of attacks on academic freedom and higher education, should return to “the point of departure” provided by the document.  An annotated version of the 1967 report based on our conversation, along with the interview itself, can be found on the Maroon's website (https://chicagomaroon.github.io/data-visualizations/2025/kalven-report-annotated/). Hosted by: Anushree Vashist, managing editor and Celeste Alcalay, Grey City editor  Edited by: Celeste Alcalay, Grey City editor and William Kimani, Podcasts Co-Head Editor

    Special Episode: “Does UChicago Have a Culture of Free Speech?"

    Episode Description The University of Chicago has long been regarded as a bastion of free expression, and outsiders associate the school with a commitment to institutional neutrality and open discourse. But how well does this commitment hold up in practice? Do members of the institution consider those principles important in their duties at the University? The Maroon’s Nicole Ochoa conducted interviews with non-tenure-track faculty and student interns from the Department of Physics and Pozen Family Center for Human Rights to provide a look into how free expression functions within the University for three of its members.  The views expressed are the interviewees’ own. Hosted by: Nicole Ochoa Edited by: William Kimani
