I what I am told is an amazing development, the Student Senate at the University of Alabama has voted unanimously to condemn the speech code adopted by the Faculty Senate.
Yesterday, the Student Senate unanimously passed a resolution that represents a stunning victory for academic free speech. In concise and clear wording, it explicitly repudiates a resolution by the Faculty Senate which calls for a sweeping speech code. Interestingly, the Faculty Senate resolution also passed without a dissenting vote. This is shaping up into quite a David and Goliath battle.
U of A professor David Beito of Liberty and Power provides the student resolution here and the context here.
