Protecting Free Speech on College Campuses
This act aims to strengthen students' freedom of speech at public and private universities. It establishes clear rules for expressing opinions and protesting, and introduces penalties for institutions that violate these rules. This will give students greater assurance that their right to free expression is protected.
Key points
Public universities cannot restrict student free speech through 'free speech zones' or restrictive codes.
Private universities must clearly disclose their free speech policies.
Students whose free speech rights are violated can seek damages in court.
Universities that do not comply with these rules may lose access to federal funding.
