Recent events at Duke and around the country have raised the question of hate speech policies on college campuses. Can universities impose hate speech regulation? Do students really have the right to say whatever they want, even if it's offensive? Duke's Black Law Students Association sponsored a panel discussion with Professor Neil Siegel, Professor Stuart Benjamin, Professor Guy Charles, and Michael J. Schoenfeld, Vice President of Public Affairs and Government Relations at Duke University about the merits of hate crime policies from a constitutional and university perspective.

A panel discusses regulatory approaches at Duke Law School's Center for Innovation Policy conference Friday, October 9, 2015, on the future of video competition and regulation.
What metrics or modes of analysis should policymakers use to determine what sorts of regulatory decisions should be made in the near future, and which can and should await future developments? Which government entities should be involved? How long, if at all, should they wait to adopt that approach? Does Congress need to enact or revise legislation to allow for appropriate regulation?
