About this title

Synopsis

FIREs Guides to Student Rights on Campus is a set of innovative, widely respected, and well-received vehicle for changing the culture on college and university campuses. They do so by emphasizing the critical importance of legal equality over the selective assignment of rights and responsibilities, of self-governance over coercion, and of the rule of law and fair procedure over the ad hoc and arbitrary imposition of partisan and repressive rules.

Review

America s colleges and universities, once bastions of free thought, too often today are oppressive centers of intellectual conformity. Now, however, students and faculty who dare to be different have an organization that will defend them, the feisty Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. Intimidation has met its match. We are all the freer for it. --Roger Pilon, Vice President for Legal Affairs, Cato Institute

Universities must remain committed to freedom of expression, especially for unpopular and politically incorrect views. Yet students and faculty members who express such views are too often disciplined by narrow-minded administrators. This is a useful bible for anyone faced with college or university discipline for expressing controversial views. It tells the student where to turn when he or she feels isolated by an accusation. --Alan M. Dershowitz, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
