Any public university with a speech code should be denied any federal funding (student loans/grants, research grants, etc.).

Wrong this attitude just makes SMUCKS like CO's Churchile smile. The brainwashing has taken effect.

If the University of Colorado had a rule about the type of people and their speaking garbage like Churchile has done in the past they could dump his sorry ass.

Churchill is a professor. He's paid to teach an approved curriculum, not use his classroom to push a political agenda. There are plenty of grounds to fire him, irrespective of what he said.

Speech codes have one goal--to discourage the free exchange of certain ideas. This is diametrically opposed to the original purpose of higher education.

"Last semester, the faculty senate at the University of Alabama (UA) passed an Orwellian speech code designed to restrict “any behavior that demeans or reduces an individual based on group affiliation or personal traits, or which promotes hate or discrimination.”

Actually, I'm pretty certain that was an email hoax, not an actual resolution.

I'm tempted to look it up on the Faculty Senate's webpage, but I'm just too lazy to click and click some more. I did find the faculty senate webpage, but that's as far as I am willing to go. Makes me feel dirty just looking at it. :)

If their webpage is correct, then you are correct. Here's the webpage with resolutions listed:

No, it was not an email hoax. The Faculty Senate actually did that. Hard to believe, isn't it?

See here. Now, that I have proven that it is real, I'd appreciate any bumps.

Here's a bump for showing that a proposed resolution made it into a faculty meeting.

How'd they vote on that proposal, by the way?
