'North Carolina College Finder' Website Features FIRE Free Speech Ratings
The John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy today launched its North Carolina College Finder, nccollegefinder.org, intended to give college-bound students better information about the state's colleges and universities. Among the ratings criteria are FIRE's Spotlight speech code ratings for every university in North Carolina—also featured last year in a report from the Pope Center. FIRE welcomes the Pope Center's use of our Spotlight ratings as part of its rubric and hopes that other organizations that care about free speech on campus will soon follow suit.
