Promoting Freedom of Expression and Respectful Dialogue

The Berkeley Liberty Initiative

For more than a decade, the Berkeley Liberty Initiative (BLI) has promoted the diversity of perspectives at UC Berkeley. The Ambassador Frank E. Baxter Lecture that the BLI hosts annually enriches the university’s intellectual life by hosting leading thinkers whose expertise and scholarship focus on the ideal of freedom in political and economic life. 

The University is not engaged in making ideas safe for students. It is engaged in making students safe for ideas.
