Greg's Huffington Post article, "," made the news for the fourth consecutive week, with   featuring Tufts University's placement on the list. Tufts made its way on to Greg's "dirty dozen" by finding a conservative student publication, The Primary Source, responsible for "harassment" for running two controversial pieces-one on affirmative action and the other on Islamic extremism.

Tufts defends this indefensible decision to this very day, and as a result Dean of Student Affairs Bruce Reitman and Tufts Community Union President Sam Wallis voiced opposition to Tufts' placement on the list in Sarah Korones'  in Tufts student newspaper The Tufts Daily. Our own Erica Goldberg, a Tufts alumna, explained why Tufts is on the list in this  in the Daily, encouraging Tufts to defend, not silence, diverse viewpoints.

Meanwhile, in a  for the Yale Daily News, Dylan Walsh complained that an event with former General Stanley McChrystal and author Greg Mortenson left little room for tough questions and debate. Walsh wondered if this was because Yale's recent record of silencing certain expression had created an atmosphere where students were afraid to voice controversial opinions.

In good news, the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently revised its very restrictive "Rallies" policy, which was ¹û¶³´«Ã½app¹Ù·½'s Speech Code of the Year for 2010. Although First Amendment problems remain, the new policy does not include the blatantly unconstitutional decision to distinguish between "controversial" and "non-controversial" rallies. (For Will's take on this policy change, click here.) Casey Mattox noted ¹û¶³´«Ã½app¹Ù·½'s central role in convincing UMass to revise this repressive policy in a  on the Alliance Defense Fund's student rights blog.

Last weekend, FIREspread the message of individual liberty on American campuses at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). (FIREregularly attends conferences held by people with a variety of political beliefs in order to spread our nonpartisan message of liberty on campus.) Adam's speech about how students are "unlearning liberty" on campus was  by Greg Halvorson of the Canada Free Press.

Finally, the Vanderbilt Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) are hosting a speech by Adam about student rights at Vanderbilt University this Wednesday. (Adam also will be speaking at nearby Belmont University on Tuesday.) YAL President Kenny Tan and Secretary Thomas Choate commented on Vanderbilt's hazing policy and Community Creed in Lucas Loffredo's in The Vanderbilt Hustler about Adam's upcoming talk.
