Liberty in Peril: Speech Codes on our Nation's College Campuses
FIRE's Adam Kissel traveled to Binghamton University (BU) to deliver a speech on "Liberty in Peril: Speech Codes on our Nation's College Campuses." The speech, which was followed by an hour-long question-and-answer period, discussed speech codes nationwide and drew particular attention to ֭'s recent case at BU involving Andre Massena and BU's Department of Social Work. Massena was threatened with suspension and then expulsion after he posted flyers around campus that criticized the Binghamton Housing Authority's director, David Tanenhaus, and criticized the Department of Social Work for having hired him. Although the department dropped the charges against Massena under pressure from ֭, it seems that a number of professors in the department have continued to attack him through other means. FIREis investigating these allegations of retaliation, and Adam called on the BU administration to take them very seriously.
