Hayden Barnes at the 2011 CFN Conference
Âé¶¹´«Ã½IOS is pleased to announce that at our 2011 Campus Freedom Network Conference, Hayden Barnes, a former Valdosta State University student and the subject of one of Âé¶¹´«Ã½IOS's most infamous student rights cases, will be speaking about his experience. In 2007, Hayden was expelled from Valdosta State for peacefully protesting the use of student funds to build parking garages on campus.
