University of Rhode Island hates free speech

Again, whats not to like about liberals?
With dramatic disregard for students’ constitutional rights, a committee of the University of Rhode Island (URI) Student Senate voted on Monday to derecognize the College Republicans. For months, the Student Senate has demanded that the group publicly apologize for advertising a satirical $100 “scholarship” for white, heterosexual, American males—an award that was never actually given out. The College Republicans refused to apologize for their protected expression and instead contacted FIRE for help. FIRE is now calling upon URI President Robert Carothers, who has already informed the Senate that it could not compel student speech, to reverse the decision to derecognize the group.
They are the gift that keeps on giving. "Free speech for us, not for you! And don't show our hypocrite nature!"
