Case Overview

FIRE Victory closed

When College Libertarians members Allison Jaynes and Robert Sinnott protested against the University of North Carolina at Greenboro's free speech zone policy they were charged with a "violation of Respect" for refusing an order to stop their protest for being outside the designated free speech zones. FIREwrote to UNCG Chancellor Patricia Sullivan explaining UNCG's restrictions on free speech were contrary to the First Amendment. After FIREbecame involved, Jaynes and Sinnott received notice from the university that the charges had been dropped. FIREalso learned that the chancellor established a committee to reexamine the university's "free speech zone" policy.
