New initiative seeks to change unlawful policies at public colleges, universities

ADF sending letters on behalf of Young Americans for Liberty to 30 US schools,
two of which have already made revisions

WASHINGTON – Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys representing a non-partisan political student organization have launched a new legal effort to change unconstitutional policies at public colleges and universities across the country by sending 30 letters to schools in 16 states. ADF has delivered 24 letters so far, with the remainder scheduled to be sent in the next two weeks. Two schools, one in California and one in Illinois, have already made the requested policy changes.

The letters were all sent in response to official policies that violate students’ rights protected by the First Amendment, and many of them directly violate state laws known as “FORUM acts,” which expressly protect students’ free speech on campus.
