Flaglers      decision followed a letter last Friday from FIRE      warning the school to uphold the students rights.    <\/p>\n<p>      Last Thursday, Flagler administrators told student Kelli Huck      that she would not be allowed to host the free speech event      she had planned for that Friday because the event was not      sponsored by a recognized student group  despite the fact      she had twice attempted to form a Young Americans for Liberty      chapter on campus. The Student Government Association      denied both of her applications      for official student group recognition because members      perceived the prospective organization as trending towards      one certain political agenda. FIRE wrote to Flagler earlier in March,      urging the administration to overturn the student      governments viewpoint-discriminatory decisions, and is still      awaiting a response.    <\/p>\n<p>      We are glad that Flagler College ultimately vindicated      Kellis expressive right to hold a free speech ball event,      but the university should never have placed her in the      position of having to risk disciplinary action in order to      engage in free expression, said Ari Cohn, director of FIREs      Individual Rights Defense Program. The idea that only      members of student groups  and not individuals  have a      voice on Flaglers campus is deeply troubling and runs      counter to the ideals that Flagler claims to value.    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>View post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.org\/flagler-college-retroactively-approved-free-speech-event-after-the-event-was-supposed-to-be-held\/\" title=\"Flagler College Retroactively Approved Free Speech Event after the Event was supposed to be held - Accuracy in Academia\">Flagler College Retroactively Approved Free Speech Event after the Event was supposed to be held - Accuracy in Academia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> April 12, 2017, Spencer Irvine, Leave a comment Per FIRE, Flagler College approved a students free speech ball days after the event was supposed to take place: AUGUSTINE, Fla., April 4, 2017 Flagler College has retroactively granted permission to a student to exercise her expressive rights with a free speech ball event but only days after the event occurred, and only after initially prohibiting her from hosting it at all.
