Speech Codes and Unlearning Liberty
Contempt breeds unfamiliarity.
G.K. Chesterton
FIRE defines a “speech code” as any university regulation or policy that prohibits expression that would be protected by the First Amendment in society at large. Any policy—such as a harassment policy, a student conduct code, or a posting policy—can be a speech code if it prohibits protected speech or expression.
