This article considers the provisions of the new Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023 and focuses on its employment impact for registered higher education providers in England with respect to the management (in particular, discipline and dismissal) of their staff generally and their academic staff more specifically. Overall, it concludes that the impact on the employment relationship in this context will be significant. Alongside introducing specific provisions related to recruitment, dismissal and discipline of academic staff which will be enforceable through a statutory tort and a complaints scheme, the Act will influence how key aspects of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Equality Act 2010 are interpreted.

2023 年高等教育（言论自由）法案：以就业为重点的概述

本文考虑了 2023 年新《高等教育（言论自由）法》的规定，重点关注其对英格兰注册高等教育机构在员工管理（特别是纪律和解雇）及其学术方面的就业影响。工作人员更具体。总的来说，它的结论是，在这种情况下对雇佣关系的影响将是重大的。除了引入与学术人员的招聘、解雇和纪律相关的具体规定（将通过法定侵权行为和投诉计划强制执行）之外，该法案还将影响 1996 年《就业权利法》和 2010 年《平等法》关键方面的解释。
