UNC, ACU rank poorly in free speech
Posted: January 13, 2014 at 8:43 am
Last month, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education released its list of the 10 worst universities for free speech and UNC-CH and Appalachian State University both made the list.
FIRE is a nonprofit organization that issues reports on U.S. university policies or actions that affect First Amendment rights. Universities are rated on a scale of red light to green light, depending on the number of policies that FIRE believes hinder free speech.
UNC-CH currently has a yellow light rating, which FIRE Senior Vice President Robert Shibley said is one policy away from a green light. The policy in question requires administrative approval before posting posters in residence halls.
Wed love to work with Chapel Hill to get rid of this last problematic policy, Shibley said. UNC is so close to a green light, it would be great to get em there.
David Ardia, a professor at the UNC School of Law who studies freedom of speech, said UNC-CH has a tradition of supporting freedom of speech, and FIRE plays an important role in keeping university policies in line with First Amendment rights.
FIRE is consistently in the forefront of shining a bright light on those universities in our society that are restrictive of speech, he said.
FIRE pointed to the Landen Gambill case as a blight against freedom of speech. Gambill, who brought a sexual assault case to UNC-CHs student-run Honor Court in spring 2012, was later charged with an Honor Court violation alleging that she intimidated the man she accused of raping her. Gambill claimed the charge was retaliatory.
Although the charge was dropped, FIRE found the case troubling.
Its not just that case, but the fact that UNC was warned about the problematic nature of the policy and ignored FIREs warning, Shibley said.
Appalachian State University has five free speech policies that FIRE deems problematic.
