Chicago Principles

Not to be confused with Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy.

The Chicago Principles (also referred to as the Chicago Statement) are a set of guiding principles intended to demonstrate a commitment to freedom of speech and freedom of expression on college campuses in the United States. Initially adopted by the University of Chicago following a report issued by the designated Committee on Freedom of Expression formed in 2014, they came to be known as the "Chicago Statement" or "Chicago Principles”. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) then led a campaign to encourage other universities to sign up in support of the principles or model their own based on similar goals.

Since 2015, a number of other universities have committed to the principles, including Princeton, Purdue, and Stanford University. As of September 2024, FIRE reported that 110 U.S. colleges and universities had "adopted or endorsed the Chicago Statement or a substantially similar statement."
