UCLA restricts speech
UCLA is planning to institute an unconstitutional speech code under the guise of a new, improved sexual harassment policy. Eugene Volokh has the details, along with some clarifying discussion of why and how the university's attempt to limit liability in one area (sexual harassment) comes into conflict with its legal and ethical obligation to adhere strictly to the First Amendment and to the principles of academic freedom. Volokh writes with pristine clarity on these issues, so click on his links to learn more about how the law works in this area. Among other things, his comments indirectly explain why and how FIRE's lawsuit against Shippensburg University is legally and philosophically sound.
