U. of Wisconsin Considers Proposal To Ease Limits on Faculty Speech.
Wilson, Robin
Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n6 pA14-A16 Oct 2 1998
The University of Wisconsin Madison has a speech code that punishes faculty who make offensive remarks in the classroom. The code, declared unconstitutional in 1991 by a federal judge, has now been revised by a panel of professors, administrators, and students to allow faculty to teach controversial subjects, even if some students are offended in the process.
