The University of Cincinnati was trying to enforce a “free speech zone” which would restrict free speech to 0.1% of campus. Luckily, free speech won in the end.

Here’s a recent report from Speak Up.

Just in time for the start of classes, a federal court in Cincinnati permanently enjoined the University of Cincinnati from enforcing its “free speech zone,” which restricted student speech to 0.1% of campus.  My prior post about this ridiculous policy and the court’s preliminary injunction is here.  Our friends at FIRE deserve another round of applause for pursuing this case and ensuring students at UC arrive back at school with greater First Amendment freedoms this fall.

Cincinnati, OH – A federal court today permanently enjoined the University of Cincinnati’s blanket prohibition on student political speech on campus as a violation the First Amendment. The ruling, made by Judge Black of the Cincinnati division of the Southern District of Ohio, paves the way for a likely overhaul of many campus speech policies throughout the state and nation.

The ruling also permits members of the student group Young Americans for Liberty (“YAL”) to advocate and collect signatures for the Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment on campus.

The 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, which also drafted the Workplace Freedom Amendment, took up the students’ case and challenged UC’s policies after UC threatened to arrest student members of YAL if they attempted to gather signatures for the right-to-work cause on campus.
