CALL TO ALUMNI

We are UCLA graduates reaching out to all Bruin alumni who are ready to take a stand against the erosion of free speech, academic freedom, and viewpoint diversity on our nation’s campuses; alumni who are dismayed at shout-down protests and violence against speech deemed offensive, faculty disciplined for pedagogical speech that challenges students’ political or cultural beliefs, and a campus culture that intimidates students into silence on controversial topics.

​

This is a call to alumni with any political views

• who are united by the vision of UCLA as a safe haven for the free expression of those views

• who recognize that discomfort and even alarm from exposure to views inimical to one’s own cherished values is an essential part of an education

• who acknowledge that when offense alone is allowed to strike the right to free speech, there is no meaningful right to free speech.
