More Sunlight Needed to Disinfect Speech Codes in Florida
FIRE's own Greg Lukianoff and Azhar Majeed highlight speech code problems at colleges and universities in the state of Florida in an interview with Eric Giunta in today's Sunshine State News. As Azhar notes in the article:
"The vast majority of Florida schools have at least one policy that clearly and substantially restricts free speech ... That's certainly a poor record, and it's somewhere around average in terms of university performance in other states."
The article is wide-ranging, covering recent developments at speech-restrictive Florida State University as well as Greg's new book, Unlearning Liberty. Check it out!
