Abstract | The pamphlet addresses the application of the United States Constitution's First Amendment to offensive expression and expressive conduct, particularly by students, at public colleges and universities. Sections 1 through 4 summarize applicable First Amendment principles including the breadth of the First Amendment; exceptions to content-based speech restrictions (e.g., incitement to imminent lawlessness, "fighting words," defamation, obscenity, intentional infliction of emotional distress); academic freedom; and other legal considerations (e.g., content-neutral regulation of expressive activity, state constitutional law, federal and state civil rights laws). Section 5 applies these principles to seven hypothetical examples. A brief discussion of each example is provided to illustrate federal constitutional issues. Specific court cases are referenced.
