Case Overview

closed

Stetson University found itself involved in a ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø case in November of 2005, when it censored a student publication based on the view-points expressed. While the case remains unresolved, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø press releases and the media expressed their concerns with what then-²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø President David French referred to as, "Orwellian policies." The censorship of the campus publication, Common Sense, surrounded a joke that Jay Leno made on his television program The Tonight Show.
