The Victory For Free

After almost two full semesters of paternalistic, infantilizing rejections stretching back to October 2021, the student group Emory Free Speech Forum finally attained its temporary charter from the Emory University School of Law last month. This is a welcome development, but it should not have taken seven months for Emory to realize the irony of denying expressive rights to a free speech-focused group based on its viewpoints.

As FIRE explained to Emory at least four times, a commitment to free speech requires universities to use only viewpoint-neutral criteria when recognizing student groups. The perils of viewpoint-based determinations when granting expressive rights to student groups are manifold: If universities defrock every student group that offends someone, campus life devolves into only those discussions palatable to the most squeamish among us.

Apparently, allowing free speech is now a public health risk at Emory. If the pandemic somehow requires that Emory impose a moratorium on recognizing student organizations, it nevertheless seems impossible to logically explain why this should happen two years in and (conveniently) just in time to excuse the rejection of a group for transparently political reasons.
