Make No Law: Protecting Individual Rights on Campus
This episode of the PBS "Voices of Vision" television series documents FIRE's efforts to defend fundamental rights at the University of North Carolina - Greensboro, where students faced discipline for protesting an unconstitutional "free speech zone," and at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, which had banned RAs from leading voluntary Bible studies in their own dorm rooms and on their own time. The film also features an in-depth look at how FIRE selects and conducts its defense of individual rights on campus, including a nuts-and-bolts look at FIRE's operations.
