Title
Common Sense Vol. 5 No. 2 “Official Fence Straddling: The Murky Waters of Dartmouth’s Free Speech” p. 5
Description
The College struggles to differentiate between free speech and hate speech due to a lack of clarification in the student handbook. “This past fall, charges were brought against students sending homophobic messages to the Panarchy”, the College decided that it was not “technically” an act of harassment. “In a recent article in In Your Face, a student wrote, ‘It seems that the Dartmouth Student Handbook has now become superfluous.” Compares to a December 24th hate speech issue at the University of Connecticut.
