FIRE’s strategies to defend individual rights include the effort to educate students and the general public about First Amendment and free speech rights in higher education. No other endeavor in recent memory has done more to awaken students to the extent of their rights on campus than FIRE’s
Guides Project. Launched in 2003, FIRE has published five
Guides focusing on each component of individual liberty: free speech, religious liberty, due process, legal equality, and thought reform.
