Assembly To Take Up Campus Speech Bill Wednesday

The bill would set new rules for free speech and expression on system campuses. That includes penalties for people who disrupt free expression on campus by engaging in, “violent, abusive, indecent, profane, boisterous, obscene, unreasonably loud or other disorderly conduct.”

Opponents to the bill argue the changes would violate the free speech rights of students who want to protest campus speakers. Supporters say the changes would encourage a greater diversity of political viewpoints on campus.
