Free Speech Zones at University of Illinois

Today,
The News-Gazette of Illinois has an interesting piece
discussing two recent free speech incidents and questioning several policies that regulate the time, place, and manner of speech at the
University of Illinois. As I have stated in a
previous post, universities may constitutionally enact reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions. However, administrators too often conveniently forget the word “reasonable” when constructing their policies. From the sounds of this article, administrators of the University of Illinois might want to look up the definition of
reasonable before reviewing these policies.
