Sense on Free Expression on Campus

| 0 Comments
CJLF sometimes gets involved in freedom-of-speech issues as they sometimes overlap with criminal law.  "Hand over your wallet or I will kill you," is speech.  It is also robbery.

On college campuses today, the principal threat to freedom of speech comes from the political left.  The disgraceful conduct of officials at Marquette University in the case of Professor John McAdams is described in this editorial at the WSJ.

But not everyone in academia has lost their minds.  The Standing Committee on Open Expression at Emory University has this thoughtful opinion on some recent incidents there.

Thanks for the tip to Eugene Volokh, who notes his brother is on the committee.
