'USA Today' on UC Davis, Pepper Spray, and Free Speech on Campus
Over at USA Today College, Jordan Friedman on the University of California, Davis incident where student protesters were pepper-sprayed while exercising their First Amendment rights. The students were each awarded $30,000 . Friedman notes:
[T]he incident at UC-Davis and its implications raise a greater question: What are common restrictions to students' free-speech rights on college campuses, and when are these limits justified?
Friedman enlists Â鶹´«Ã½IOS's own Will Creeley and the Student Press Law Center's to answer that question. !
