Ignoring FIREis Expensive
With the "free speech zone" policy at the University of Cincinnati's inevitable failure in federal court yesterday, FIREPresident Greg Lukianoff took to today to remind universities that when FIREsays a speech code is unconstitutional, they should probably listen—lest they cost taxpayers money.

To put it simply, that's wasted money, and UC should have dismantled its free speech zone years ago. As Greg states in his article:
And it's not as if UC wasn't given notice that their policies had jumped the constitutional shark. After all, FIREfirst warned UC about its policy being unconstitutional back in 2007 -- and who knows how long it was in effect before that?
