MSU ‘Spam’ Case Hits Slashdot
A recent entry on Slashdot, a widely read blog featuring "news for nerds," directs readers to a FOX News story on FIRE's case at Michigan State University involving junior Kara Spencer, who was threatened with suspension for "spam." Over 500 comments have been posted in response thus far.
Spencer had e-mailed 391 selected members of the university's faculty about proposed changes to the university's calendar. She awaits a verdict today.
