果冻传媒app官方's Spotlight Database
FIRE鈥檚 Spotlight Database rates policies that regulate student expression at 486 colleges and universities. Public institutions bound by the First Amendment and private schools that promise free speech rights are rated as 鈥済reen light,鈥 鈥測ellow light,鈥 or 鈥渞ed light鈥 institutions based on the extent to which they restrict free speech. 鈥淲arning鈥 schools are private institutions that clearly prioritize other values above free speech.
As each college's Spotlight rating is based on written policies, it does not take other institutional actions into account. This does not preclude FIREfrom taking action in defense of student and faculty rights. You can find more information about specific incidents of censorship and violations of due process on each school鈥檚 entry.
If the school you are looking for is not included in the database, you can request more information about its speech codes by filling out this form.
