Case Overview

FIRE Victory closed

FIRE wrote a letter to The New School on July 17, 2019, voicing deep concern over its disciplinary investigation into Professor Laurie Sheck for an alleged violation of the institution鈥檚 discrimination policy stemming from a classroom discussion of a James Baldwin essay and the title of an Oscar-nominated documentary about the author. FIREexplained that the investigation was unwarranted under The New School鈥檚 policies governing both discrimination and academic freedom and asked that it be ended immediately. On August 14, 2019, The New School cleared Sheck, finding that she did not violate the university鈥檚 policies on discrimination.
