The Fence and its Role in Supporting Free Expression

For the last 100 years, the Fence has stood as a self-regulating, student-governed space for open expression. It has an important role in supporting free expression and respectful engagement within our campus community. Freedom of expression has been  — and always will be  — central to advancing CMU’s mission. We firmly believe that the exchange of ideas and perspectives creates knowledge, improves understanding and cultivates a campus atmosphere rich in diversity and innovation.
