Each year, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) conducts a rigorous survey of restrictions on speech at America's colleges and universities. The survey and resulting report explore the extent to which schools are meeting their legal and moral obligations to uphold students' and faculty members' rights to freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and private conscience. This year's report examines the restrictions on speech that are in force at a large sample of American colleges and universities and identifies emergent trends within the data. The report also addresses recent developments regarding free speech in the university setting, drawing from FIRE's research on university policies and from cases that FIRE has handled over the past academic year. Some highlights from this year's research include: (1) New York University prohibits "insulting, teasing, mocking, degrading or ridiculing another person or group"; (2) Keene State College in New Hampshire prohibits any "language that is sexist and promotes negative stereotypes and demeans members of the community"; and (3) Southwest Minnesota State University vaguely prohibits speech "which attempts to demean or devalue a person's inherent worth and human dignity." FIRE hopes that by exposing the magnitude of the threat to free speech on the American college campus, it will draw increased public attention to the problem and inspire solutions. After all, public scrutiny is perhaps the greatest weapon against these abuses. Appended are: (1) States by Geographic Region; and (2) Schools by Rating. (Contains 8 figures and 50 footnotes.)
