Case Overview
Âé¶¹´«Ã½IOS Victory closed
When College Libertarians members Allison Jaynes and Robert Sinnott protested against the University of North Carolina at Greenboro's free speech zone policy they were charged with a "violation of Respect" for refusing an order to stop their protest for being outside the designated free speech zones. Âé¶¹´«Ã½IOS wrote to UNCG Chancellor Patricia Sullivan explaining UNCG's restrictions on free speech were contrary to the First Amendment. After Âé¶¹´«Ã½IOS became involved, Jaynes and Sinnott received notice from the university that the charges had been dropped. Âé¶¹´«Ã½IOS also learned that the chancellor established a committee to reexamine the university's "free speech zone" policy.
