Appeals Court Deals Blow To University of Michigan’s ‘Bias Response Team’

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Monday that Speech First, an organization that promotes free speech on college campuses, can continue with a lawsuit challenging The University of Michigan’s broad speech codes after a district court had previously denied them injunctive relief, as reported by Inside HigherEd.

According to the original complaint filed by Speech First, officials at the University of Michigan had created “an elaborate investigatory and disciplinary apparatus to suppress and punish” any speech that students may deem offensive.
