Moe writes about a new book, “Restoring Free Speech and Liberty on Campus,” by Donald Downs, a UW-Madison professor of political science, law and journalism.
“It is compelling reading, and somewhat chilling, looking in hindsight at what for the most part good-intentioned people can do to something as seemingly unassailable in this country as free expression. It is also an optimistic book, for those who believe in the right of free speech, in light of what finally became of the (speech) codes.”
