AR SB191

Renames the "Forming Open and Robust University Minds (FORUM) Act" to the "Free Thought in Higher Education Act."

Prohibits state-supported institutions of higher education from restricting speech that individuals may find controversial, uncollegial, disagreeable, or offensive, and prevents institutions from shielding people from First Amendment-protected speech.

Expands public forum protections to include both outdoor areas and indoor common areas generally open to all students and teachers for social interaction, and prohibits institutions from creating designated "free-speech zones."

Allows campus members to engage in noncommercial expressive activity in any public area of campus freely, including lawful protests and minor nonviolent disruptions, unless the conduct is unlawful or materially and substantially disrupts institutional functioning.

Requires state-supported institutions to make free expression policies public through handbooks, websites, and orientation programs, and to train administrators, police, and faculty on free expression duties; prohibits requiring students or teachers to take oaths beyond those required by law or accrediting bodies.
