University Eliminates its Speech Codes.

[glow=red,2,300]FIRE Wrote:[/glow]In a historic victory for free speech on college and university campuses, Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania, which first vehemently defended its extensive restrictions upon student free speech, has agreed to repeal its unconstitutional speech code. The settlement comes after the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania issued a preliminary injunction against the university in September, ordering Shippensburg's president, Anthony F. Ceddia, not to enforce provisions of Shippensburg's code. The successful lawsuit was brought by Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) Legal Network attorneys David A. French and William Adair Bonner as the inaugural suit in FIRE's national campaign to rid America's public colleges and universities, permanently, of unconstitutional speech codes.

Good news!
