Free Speech in Alabama:
I what I am told is an amazing development, the Student Senate at the
University of Alabama has voted unanimously to condemn the speech code
adopted by the Faculty Senate.
Yesterday, the Student Senate unanimously passed a resolution that
represents a stunning victory for academic free speech. In concise
and clear wording, it explicitly repudiates a resolution by the
Faculty Senate which calls for a sweeping speech code.
Interestingly, the Faculty Senate resolution also passed without a
dissenting vote. This is shaping up into quite a David and Goliath
battle.
U of A professor David Beito of Liberty and Power provides the student
resolution [1]here and the context [2]here.
