Student Senate Worried About Too Much Free Speech On Campus

In 2016, the University of Minnesota’s student senate delayed a bill promoting free speech on campus because it would allow ‘hate speech’ and ‘offensive speech’. Modeled after the affirmation for free speech released by the University of Chicago, the proposal faced resistance from graduate students for saying free speech protects speech that some might deem hateful. The faculty senate supported the resolution, but the resolution was opposed by a graduate council as well as the undergraduate senate.
