FIRE President on 'HuffPost LIVE' to Discuss New Harassment Definition

by

Pierce Babirak

May 13, 2013

This evening at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, Alyona Minkovski of "HuffPost Live" will interview FIRE President Greg Lukianoff. They will discuss the recent joint effort by the Department of Justice and Department of Education to undo decades of precedent in defining sexual harassment. The new, overly broad definition defines "any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature," including speech, as sexual harassment. This move by DOJ and DOE will put nearly unlimited power in the hands of administrators to label speech that they dislike harassment. Tune into live.huffingtonpost.com at 7 p.m. ET to see this important interview.

Who: Greg Lukianoff, interviewed by Alyona Minkovski

When: 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, Monday, May 13
