Crackdown? Mizzou moves to restrict free speech, prevent future protests

To ensure students at the University of Missouri can’t protest like they did in the fall, administrators will enforce a 1949 rule to block encampments.

Though not intended as an anti-protest rule, it will be exploited as one, according to Inside Higher Ed.

The rule prohibits overnight camping, which protesting students did when they formed a tent city. The protests led to national media coverage, the resignations of a university president and chancellor, and a damaged reputation, according to the Kansas City Star.

The rule evaluation came from a university review to analyze the university response to student protests.

Other aspects of the review could restrict the free speech rights of University of Missouri students.
