FIRE isn't the only organization coordinating lawsuits against colleges and universities with unconstitutional speech codes, and it isn't the only organization getting good results with this approach. The University of Houston has just settled a lawsuit alleging that its restrictive free speech policy (itself of questionable constitutionality, since UH is a public school) was administrated in a discriminatory manner. The lawsuit was filed by a campus anti-abortion group with the help of the Christian legal advocacy group, the Alliance Defense Fund. UH has agreed to pay $93,000 in legal costs, and will revise the policies in question--which forbade students to post exhibits on the main campus plaza, prevented students from carrying signs or wearing sandwich boards, and banned anonymous leafletting--by June 30.
