Clemson University: Free Speech Zone Suspended

Case Materials

"Victory for Free Speech: Clemson University Abandons 'Free Speech Zone' Policy," FIRE Press Release, November 28, 2006: Clemson University has vowed to review its “free speech zone” policy and, until a new policy is instituted, has opened its entire campus to free speech. Clemson has also cleared the Clemson Conservatives student organization of its charges for violating the “free speech zone” policy. Clemson decided to reassess its restrictions on free assembly after FIRE, working with the Clemson Conservatives, contended that the university’s “free speech zones” were both unlawful and immoral.
