Southern Illinois University at Carbondale: Free Speech Crisis Over Unconstitutional Policies

To cover up a free speech crisis on his campus, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale's chancellor has resorted to deceit. SIUC Chancellor Samuel Goldman called documented claims about SIUC's unconstitutional policies "baseless," attacked FIRE in false and misleading public statements, and strongly defended SIUC's Protest Policy despite actually changing the policy in response to a detailed letter from FIRE, the Southern Illinois Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Illinois Association of Scholars challenging SIUC's manifestly unconstitutional free speech zone.
