A hearing panel at Tufts University unanimously voted to dismiss charges of sexual harassment against a student newspaper that had satirized a campus student leader. The Primary Source, a student publication that describes itself as the "Journal of Conservative Thought at Tufts University," turned to FIREafter an undergraduate student filed charges against the paper with both the Dean of FIREand the Office of Equal Opportunity, claiming that a cartoon and written remarks in the journal of opinion had made her into a "sex object." In response, FIREwrote to the administration, reminding them of two prior free speech cases at Tufts where FIREsuccessfully intervened.
