FIRE in 'The Huffington Post' on America's 12 Worst Schools for Free Speech
Today, The Huffington Post published FIRE's list of America's 12 Worst Schools for Free Speech. An expansion of FIRE's Red Alert List of the "worst of the worst" schools for student and faculty rights, this "dirty dozen" slideshow includes the schools that come onto FIRE's radar screen again and again for their repeated and egregious violations of fundamental rights, as well as schools whose policies are so bad that they simply had to be included.
