CLE at Sea

Dive Deeply into Freedom of Expression on Campus: An Intensive at Sea
April 29 – May 4, 2019 - Aboard Royal Caribbean's "Brilliance of the Seas"
Tampa, Florida

Join Professor (Captain) Peter Lake on the “Law Boat” as he takes you through an in-depth examination of cutting-edge foundational and operational issues of freedom of expression on campus today. This first of its kind intensive training will benefit top administrators at public and private institutions of higher education in the United States. During this intensive 10-hour training, participants will:

  • Learn about basic building blocks of freedom of expression guaranteed by the U.S. and state constitutions, statutory and regulatory mandates and contract law — and the intersection of accreditation standards
  • Examine recent and important legal cases/matters regarding free expression
  • Participate in case study exercises based on real-world situations
  • Learn about “extreme expression” on campus, and improve skills in developing better practices regulating spaces and places—including classrooms
  • Develop a better understanding of the contours of modern academic freedom and administrative autonomy
  • Unleash the often untapped power of Citizens United, and discuss the future of the SCOTUS on free expression issues and the impact of 2018 midterm elections on free expression
  • Be able to locate today's campus free expression challenges in the context of the culture and climate of modern higher education (Hint: We will be discussing the Pew Survey and Generation Z)
  • Be able to apply knowledge and skills gained to digital expression issues, including social media management
  • Look ahead 2, 4 and 10 years to appreciate what lies on the horizon of expression issues on campus (Are you ready for the e-sports revolution?)

This is not just an intensive learning experience — and far more than a cruise. This a commitment to participate in an immersive journey, together, learning more about topics that keep us up at night. Expect to learn and grow — and be challenged — in the unique context of a true voyage.

Space is deliberately limited to ensure that your experience will be highly interactive and personalized and that you will be surrounded by colleagues like yourself who are committed to learn and share in a once in a lifetime learning experience.
