Colorado State University Upholds Free Speech for Student Editorials

David McSwane was admonished for making a choice that the Board deemed “unethical and unprofessional.” But the Board fully accepted FIRE’s position, stating that the editorial “was an expression of opinion, which we regard as protected by the First Amendment.”
