Case Overview

FIRE Victory closed

In April 2022, two Central Washington University administrators threw away stacks of student newspaper The Observer to prevent prospective students who were visiting campus from seeing a story about university budget cuts. On April 25, FIREwrote to CWU explaining that this confiscation constituted not only theft, but also First Amendment viewpoint-based discrimination — “an egregious formâ€‌ of censorship. After أغض­دمجز’s letter, CWU apologized to The Observer.
