Legal Issue Exploration Part 1

What is the issue? Free Speech on public higher education institution campuses

Why is this important to higher education professionals? Important to understand what can and cannot be included in campus policies and how nondiscrimination clauses relate to constitutional rights

What should higher education administrators know about this issue? Who to consult if controversy arises, other cases, national groups (ie the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education)

I have created a virtual multimedia timeline to represent the selected issue: 
Free Speech in Higher Education
