Excerpt:
A free speech group has called on the California State University system to revise its new “Other Conduct of Concern” discrimination and harassment policy, calling it overbroad and unconstitutionally vague and arguing it would impermissibly chill expression.
“We urge you to reconsider this guidance and ensure no members of the CSU systemwide community are subject to investigations or discipline for engaging in constitutionally protected expression,” the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression wrote to CSU leaders.
The five-page Dec. 30 memo from the nonpartisan nonprofit focused on defending free speech told leaders of the 23-campus system the policy is a legal minefield.
