Another win for the folks back at FIRE.

Greg Piper at The College Fix has the story:

College that squelched student speech under court supervision for a year

Citrus College in California settled a lawsuit with the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education filed on behalf of a student who was stopped from collecting petition signatures on Constitution Day.

FIRE said the school would pay the student $110,000 in damages and attorney’s fees, and that it has revised speech-squelching policies, “agreed not to impede free expression in all open areas of campus” and adopted a First Amendment-compliant definition of “harassment.”

The federal court overseeing the settlement will also retain jurisdiction for a year, so the student can “enforce the agreement without filing a new lawsuit,” FIRE said.
