Speech First Executive Director Cherise Trump spoke with Fox New Digital about holding universities accountable in the court of law for 'bad' harassment policies that are targeting students.
, Speech First is challenging two specific policies they claim are designed to have an effect on silencing students’ speech. Speech First argues that TSU’s Discrimination and Harassment Policies are"overbroad and can easily be applied to a wide swath of protected speech." The other is the Computer Policy which they claim"forbids students from using their student email accounts for protected political speech.
TSU's computer policy mandates that all students must comply with university, state, and federal policies and laws. It goes on to say that a student's failure to follow this policy can result in serious consequences such as suspension, restricted access to privileges, and possible"referral to legal and law enforcement agencies."among students when discussing politics in emails, engaging their classmates, and commenting in class.. TSU told Fox News Digital that they do not comment on active litigation.
Trump also told Fox News Digital that they hope that their lawsuit ultimately"changes the policies so that they're constitutionally sound" by either eliminating the policies or modifying them to the point where they actually include protections for students First Amendment rights.
