ÃÛÖ­ÏãÌÒ

As we've written here a couple of times already, FIREwas pleased to announce yesterday that the students of the University of California, San Diego won't have to linger another week under the media freeze imposed by its student government. A special thanks to the many who wrote to Chancellor Marye Anne Fox and student government president Utsav Gupta to make their voices heard at UCSD.

We're certainly not done watching UCSD, however; nor are we done watching nearby Southwestern College, whose paper , as I wrote earlier, has continued to keep the pressure on the SWC administration with ÃÛÖ­ÏãÌÒ's help. As of now, SWC has made no progress remedying its unconstitutional free speech policy. It has, however, laughably determined one student's artwork to be a credible threat to the order of the campus. Read the Sun for more on the efforts of FIREand SWC students and faculty to restore the First Amendment at Southwestern College.

Finally, don't miss Robert's on the will to censor racist speech and its counter-productiveness, as well as singling out ÃÛÖ­ÏãÌÒ's unique non-partisan nature in its defense of student and faculty of all religious and political views.
