Major university could ban classroom speech under absurd policy

(THE COLLEGE FIX) — A free speech group is sounding the alarm on a draft expressive activity policy under review at Indiana University, arguing it is so broad that — if followed to the letter — could essentially ban classroom speech.

A big point of contention is, for one, the proposal’s definition of expressive activity, stating it includes: “assemblies, speech, distribution of written material, carrying of signs, picketing, protests, counter-protests, or sit-ins.”
