As a private entity, Vanderbilt has the right to set safety, security, and privacy policies and guidelines around access to private property and buildings on our campus and to remove individuals who attempt to violate those policies. However, our dedication to the values of free expression, including freedom of the press, requires a commitment to openness and accountability. Upon further reflection and recognizing the valuable input we have received, Vanderbilt will review whether the administration's response to the Nashville Scene reporter's attempts to gain access to a restricted building on Tuesday aligned with our core values. Vanderbilt will also review and explore updates to our campus access and media policies to best ensure our commitment to freedom of the press going forward.
