Case Overview

FIRE Victory closed

On March 22 and 29, 2023, FIREfor Life members at UNC Greensboro chalked their views on university sidewalks approved for chalking, but other students took offense and erased the messages with water. FIREwrote UNC Greensboro on May 8, calling on it to make clear that destroying other students’ written messages is not acceptable and to ensure the students who erased the messages understand the gravity of their actions. UNC Greensboro responded on May 22, assuring us that it regularly addresses the right to free speech with students throughout their college career and takes action when the university can identify individuals who hinder others’ expressive rights.
