Harvard Students Launch Petition for 30th President Committed to Free Speech, Encourage Alumni to Sign

A group of Harvard undergraduates with urgent concerns around free speech and open inquiry have written a petition to the Harvard Presidential Search Committee with an accompanying signature form. They are requesting that we share with those who might be interested, which means all of you! We strongly encourage our members and friends to read the petition and show your support.

Students wrote to us as follows: "We have put together a petition to the presidential search committee to ask for a president who will stand for free speech and open inquiry. We hope to lead the way in demonstrating undergraduates' desire for change... We [also] hope we can reach as many sympathetic alumni as possible."

The signature form is here: https://forms.gle/FvUb15tvQZnTDLhcA

For those who wish to support the petition, please sign and forward along to fellow alumni who might be interested. We are proud of these Harvard undergraduates and share in their calls for a 30th president committed to promoting and protecting free speech.
