In FIREs comment we urged the Committee to include provisions: 1) defining the term sexual harassment in a manner that protects free speech and is consistent with United States Supreme Court authority; 2) prohibits public universities from limiting constitutionally protected expressive activities to tiny so-called free speech zones; 3) prohibiting universities from demanding passwords to student and faculty social media accounts and private emails; 4) requiring universities to disclose information about their policys impact on free speech; 5) protect the rights of student journalists; and 5) provide students facing suspensions or expulsions from public colleges and universities the right to counsel in campus suspension of expulsion hearings. FIRE met with various congressional offices to discuss these recommendations. FIRE also wrote a letter to the Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights about due process and free speech concerns stemming from a recent settlement of a Title IX case against the University of Montana. | Education, Dept of,HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE | 10000 | 0 | 0 | 2013-10-21T16:23:50.480000-04:00 |
