The Guides
FIRE’s Guides to Student Rights on Campus, a series of handbooks on free speech, due process, student fee funding, religious liberty, and thought reform, gives a comprehensive overview of students’ First Amendment Rights on campus. Hard copies are available to students for free upon request and PDF’s of the guides are available to all for free download.
These “seeds of liberty,” as FIRE co-founder Alan Charles Kors calls them, have been distributed to tens of thousands of college students. CFN members are welcome to order bulk copies of FIRE’s Guides to distribute to campus leaders and student organizations at their university.
