FIRE advocated for student free speech and due process in the regulations and our comment is publicly available on our website. We later filed a supplemental comment to the department to respond to other comments that were filed in the process. Again, we advocated for student free speech and due process. On February 11, 2019, FIRE sent a letter to Secretary of State Michael Pompeo urging the State Department to avoid warrantless surveillance of Chinese nationals studying at U.S. Colleges. That letter is available on our website. FIRE had conversations with congressional offices regarding our concerns about the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act (S. 852), which we oppose on free speech grounds. FIRE also spoke with congressional offices about the President's Executive Order on Campus Free Speech. Finally, FIRE had conversations with congressional offices about our support for The Free Right to Expression in Education Act (H.R. 1672) which would prohibit public colleges and universities from restricting student expression to misleadingly labelled "free speech" zones. | Education, Dept of,HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE,State, Dept of (DOS) | 10000 | 0 | 0 | 2019-04-19T16:54:19.073000-04:00 |
