Lukianoff in āInside Higher Edā
FIRE Legal Director Greg Lukianoff has discussing constitutional confusion at the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, where FIRE has been working to get administrators to overturn an unconstitutional student government decision regarding viewpoint neutrality:
In cases across the countryā¦administrations have stood idly by while student governments pass rules and make decisions that flatly violate the Constitution. One recent case that demonstrates this phenomenon involves the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, where the student government passed a rule in March banning groups with a āparticular ideological, religious, or partisan viewpointā from receiving student-fee funding.
This may not seem like a particularly big deal to some. What the students and many observers donāt seem to understand is that profound moral and constitutional principles are violated by this ruleā¦.
to get the skinny on UWEC administratorsā curious disregard for the U.S. Constitution.
