FIRE’s Case at URI Hits the Media
by Emily Guidry
April 20, 2007
FIRE’s
defense of the College Republicans at the University of Rhode Island (URI) has gained the
attention of local and national media, including a front-and-center spot on today’s
homepage of FOXNews.com. The accompanying
article by Melissa Drosjack explores our fight for the College Republicans’ right to advertise a satirical “scholarship,” despite the Student Senate’s demand for an apology. Today’s issue of
The Boston Globe also ran a
story from the Associated Press that highlighted our efforts at URI.
Also,
