It seeks to outlaw a whole range of clearly protected speech. However, courts have already addressed this claim and found it wanting. The EEOC guidelines do not allow, much less require, a university to impose speech restrictions in an academic setting. It is truly a perversion and an abuse of the legal system to cite purported federal and state statutes and regulations in a misguided effort to sanctify the Administration's efforts to trample constitutional rights on campus. First, this purports to preserve the academic freedom of faculty members, but does not protect students.
Free speech is indivisible and pertains inside of the classroom and out.
The proposed harassment code is unconstitutional, as well as in violation of the most elementary principles of academic freedom. In fact, it makes it impossible for many members of the academic community to participate by means of speaking their minds. The whole concept of a code regulating speech on campus is wrong.
