This fall, dissent is gaining momentum at American colleges, with faculty members joining student activists in speaking out against new protest restrictions. These rules are seen as a threat to freedom of speech and critical thinking, which are fundamental to university life.
At Indiana University, for example, a new policy limits protests after 11 p.m., bans camping on campus, and requires pre-approval for signs. In response, faculty members, students, and community members have been holding candlelight vigils on campus past the curfew.
