Colleges That Stifle Free Speech Most: Syracuse

So the organization called the Foundation for Equal Rights in Education is a watchdog group for universities and colleges that ranks them according to worst violations of free speech and shit. The Huffington Post just covered their list of the top 12 offenders of free speech. Syracuse University is at the top. Why? you ask, I'll enlighten you.



Syracuse's College of Law is considering expelling a student for what they call harassment because he decided to take part in a funny-ass blog about Law School life. Wonder where he got that idea from cough cough Tucker Max. And apparently SU is not naming names for who the accusers are or what was harrassing about the students actions. The student, Len Audaer was informed in October that he was being investigated for harassment. Of who? Who the fuck knows. The blog, called SUCOLitis (SUCOL being Syracuse University College of Law) was apparently some kind of fake-news blog, whatever the fuck that means. This is a real news blog so I don't know what fake news is.



Other schools on the list include Tufts, Michigan State, and UMass Amherst. Want to see how your school rates for free speech? Find out here. MCLA get a "red light" for having some policies which restrict the First Amendment rights of students.
