With its thematic focus this year on the rights and freedoms of students, the June 14–18 conference in Washington, DC, honors the fiftieth anniversary of the Joint Statement on the Rights and Freedoms of Students, issued by the AAUP along with four other groups in 1967. Conference presentation topics include historical and contemporary perspectives on student activism, the impact of digital media on student rights and freedoms, race and diversity on campus, the rights of graduate student workers, and the tension between faculty and student rights.
