Inside FIRE’s 2026 Rankings: Free Speech at UVA

Join us for a timely conversation with Connor Murnane of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) as he walks us through the newly released 2026 College Free Speech Rankings.

This annual survey, the largest of its kind, captures the state of free expression on campuses across the country. Which universities are leading the way? Which are falling behind? And what do these rankings reveal about the culture of open inquiry in higher education today?

Connor will highlight the most significant findings, explain the methodology behind the rankings, and take your questions on what this means for students, alumni, and faculty who care about protecting academic freedom.

Don’t miss this chance to hear directly from FIRE as the new rankings are released.
