State legislators across the country are speaking out against the numerous attempts by college administrators to limit and attack students’ free-speech rights.
Campus Reform has identified at least six state legislatures that are considering legislation that would definitively prevent public universities from placing unreasonable restrictions on the right to free expression.
This includes one that “would even include a provision that “allows anyone who has had their free speech rights infringed to sue the university and recover courts costs and attorney fees,” while also requiring all students to attend a session on free speech during freshman orientation”.
