IL HR0050

Condemns restrictive speech policies at institutions of higher education, including cancellation of scheduled speeches, speech codes, and limiting assembly rights to designated "free speech zones"

Urges colleges and universities with such policies to reverse their decisions, asserting that these policies violate First Amendment principles and inhibit free exchange of ideas

States that exposure to all sides of arguments leads to better perspective, decision-making, and mutual respect on controversial issues

Directs copies of the resolution to be sent to the Illinois Board of Higher Education, Illinois Community College Board, and presidents of all Illinois public universities
