‘St. Louis Post-Dispatch’ Reports on STLCC Case
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has a great article today about FIRE’s ongoing case at St. Louis Community College at Meramec (STLCC). As detailed in our press release, STLCC has placed student Jun Xiao on disciplinary probation and found him guilty of several offenses—including hazing, disorderly conduct, and breach of the peace—simply for sending e-mails to his classmates about his plans to disenroll from a class at STLCC and take other courses with different professors. Unhappy with his professor in a course he was taking at STLCC, Xiao invited other students to retake the course with him in the spring, informed them about other professors with good reputations, and pointed out that the same course is available at another community college.
