From The Daily Caller:

the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE, where I work), has sorted through the hundreds of colleges and universities across the nation that severely restrict the First Amendment rights of their students, and is ready to present a “dirty dozen” of colleges that have attacked freedom of speech with such zeal that we cannot help but (dis)honor them. While it was difficult to choose from such a wide talent pool, certain schools took our breath away with their dazzling performances. So here, in no particular order, are the winners of this year’s 12 Worst Colleges for Free Speech:

University of Cincinnati

Syracuse University

Widener University

Harvard University

Yale University

St. Augustine’s College

Michigan State University

Colorado College

Johns Hopkins University

Tufts University

Bucknell University

Brandeis University

Of course, every good awards show needs an introductory video. So please sit back and join us in recognizing the tireless efforts of just a few of the winners: Brandeis University, the University of Cincinnati and St. Augustine’s College.

The University of Cincinnati (UC) earns its “honor” by managing to distinguish itself among the many schools that limit student speech to unconstitutional “free speech zones.” Out of the 137 acres of the UC West Campus, the school limits “all demonstrations, pickets, and rallies” to a “Free Speech Area” that comprises 0.1% of it. And if students do not request permission to use that 0.1% of campus a full 10 working days in advance, they “may be charged with trespassing.” When a student group requested permission to collect signatures to support a statewide ballot initiative outside of this tiny zone, UC told them that campus security would be alerted if any of its members dared to “walk around” outside the zone gathering signatures. In other words, UC students can apparently walk around wherever they like on campus — as long as they’re not exercising a First Amendment right at the same time.

You may have seen this new Tidy Cats billboard equating OTR to a dirty kitty litter box. That is pretty shitty (pun intended)

EDIT: As you may have seen in the comments, Tidy Cats has mentioned that they will be rectifying the billboard issue soon. Thanks Julie for pointing this out to me.

UK/Louisville one-ups the Crosstown Beatdown

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 14:00:06 -0400

If you thought two basketball teams fighting at the end of a game was pretty batshit insane, you were wrong.

Police were recently called to break up a fight between two fans at a dialysis center. Yeah, you read that right…

Five days before Kentucky and Louisville meet in the Final Four in New Orleans came word that police had to be called to break up a fight Monday between rival fans at adialysiscenter.

The altercation took place in Kentucky at the Georgetown Dialysis Clinic. According to WKYT-TV, a Kentucky fan hooked up to a dialysis machine overheard a Louisville fan waiting for treatment ”running his mouth” about how Louisville was going to beat Kentucky on Saturday.

The Louisville fan told the station that he was talking to someone else when the “meddling” Kentucky fan gave him the finger. A scuffle ensued but was over by the time police arrived, the report said.
