University of Massachusetts at Amherst: Refusal to Permit Pro-War Speech
Case Materials
- "University of Massachusetts," October 24, 2001: In September, the University of Massachusetts granted a permit for a student rally to protest any use of force in waging the war against terrorism. The protest was held. Another student group reserved the same place to hold a rally in support of America's policy towards terrorism, but two days before the rally, their permit was revoked. Students held the rally anyway, and their pamphlets were publicly vandalized, with impunity.
