Appalachian State University: Speech Code Repeal

Case Materials

"Speech Code Falls at Appalachian State University," FIRE Press Release, April 5, 2006: With FIRE’s assistance, student activists at Appalachian State University have brought down an unconstitutional speech code. This welcome development was a direct result of a recent report by FIRE and the John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy, as well as the efforts of the App State ACLU.
