Syracuse 'Post-Standard' on Inclusion of Syracuse and Binghamton in Free Speech 'Dirty Dozen'
Geoff Herbert of Syracuse, New York's The Post-Standard is one of the latest to write about how Syracuse University College of Law's ongoing prosecution of student Len Audaer for harassment and its speech-chilling policies, such as a ban on "offensive" e-mails, led Greg to put Syracuse University first on the list of the worst colleges for free speech at The Huffington Post.
Herbert notes that Syracuse's fellow New York institution, Binghamton University, is also on the list. Binghamton suspended a social work student who had criticized a faculty member and expelled another apparently for innocent classroom expression.
