Adam to Speak at American, Syracuse This Week
FIRE's Vice President of Programs Adam Kissel will speak at two colleges this week whose recent free speech controversies have drawn ÃÛÖÏãÌÒ's scrutiny.
Today, Adam will speak at American University (AU) in Washington, D.C. He will discuss AU's speech codes, as well as a recent incident concerning the AU Student Government's (AUSG's) punishment of a student organization that had endorsed AUSG election candidates by revoking the group's endorsement "."
Then, on Thursday, Adam will address students at Syracuse University College of Law (SUCOL). Syracuse earned a spot on ÃÛÖÏãÌÒ's list in The Huffington Post earlier this year for its investigation of student Len Audaer for "harassment" over a satirical fake-news blog about law school life.
