FIRE - University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire Wages Campaign Against Student Viewpoints:
"EAU CLAIRE, Wis., April 27, 2005—The University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire (UWEC) Student Senate has amended its rules to forbid any student-organized activity that promotes a “particular ideological, religious, or partisan viewpoint” from receiving student-fee funding. This new policy directly contradicts the university’s First Amendment obligation to distribute student funds regardless of viewpoint and violates the rights of all UWEC students."
I tell people all the time that the one place in the world where free and open debate is not permitted is the local college campus.
