Case Materials
- "Victory for Free Speech at University of Wisconsin: Antiwar Panel to Be Held Tonight," by Adam Kissel, April 26, 2010: After abruptly cancelling a panel of antiwar speakers last Friday, the University of Wisconsin - Madison has reversed its decision, and the event will proceed tonight as planned. The university also will not charge an unconstitutional security fee to any of the student or academic sponsors of the event. FIRE successfully advised the event's student and faculty sponsors about how to advocate effectively for their rights on campus.
