The standard view of academic freedom and free speech is that they play complementary roles in universities. Academic freedom protects academic discourse, while other public discourse in universities is protected by free speech. Here I challenge this view, broadly, on the grounds that free speech in universities sometimes undermines academic practices. One defense of the standard view, in the face of this worry, says that campus free speech actually furthers the university’s academic aims. Another says that universities have a secondary democratic function, which cannot be fulfilled without free speech on campus. I identify shortcomings in both types of arguments.

学术自由与言论自由的关系

学术自由和言论自由的标准观点是它们在大学中发挥互补作用。学术自由保护学术话语，而大学中的其他公共话语则受到言论自由的保护。在这里，我从广义上挑战这种观点，理由是大学中的言论自由有时会破坏学术实践。面对这种担忧，标准观点的一名辩护人表示，校园言论自由实际上促进了大学的学术目标。另一种说法是，大学具有次要的民主功能，没有校园言论自由就无法实现。我发现这两种论点都有缺点。
