Free speech lawsuit challenges Michigan State University's trustee ethics code

(The Center Square) – Michigan State University is facing a federal lawsuit challenging recent revisions to its Board of Trustees’ code of ethics. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a national nonprofit organization, is representing university trustee Michael Balow in the lawsuit. “MSU’s revised code censors dissent,” said FIRE attorney Heather Pincus. “If a trustee criticizes a board decision, the trustee could suffer serious consequences, up to referral for removal from office. But if a trustee praises a board decision, the code imposes no consequences. That’s viewpoint discrimination, which the First Amendment forbids.” The revised policy requires trustees to “uphold the university’s reputation” and states trustees “will not undermine and will support the majority decision of the board.” It also requires trustees to raise concerns in “appropriate settings” before board action and sign an acknowledgement agreeing to comply or face sanctions. “But what exactly does ‘undermine’ mean, and who gets to decide?” said Balow. "The majority of the board? The amended code also requires that we will ‘not provide inaccurate, misleading, or false information concerning the University.' But who gets to decide what is ‘inaccurate’? Again, the majority of the board?” According to the foundation, the revisions were made

Muskegon Western Michigan Christian wins Division 4 title on penalty kick

GRAND LEDGE — Goalie Kaden Peggar was ready to run to the waiting fans in celebration before Carter MacKellar had even gotten set for what turned out to the decisive penalty kick. Seconds later, Peggar, MacKellar and the rest of the Muskegon Western Michigan Christian (21-1-3) boys soccer team raced across the field at Grand Ledge High School, celebrating with fans a 1-0 shootout (4-3) win in the Division 4 boys soccer state championship win over Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett on Saturday, Nov. 7. “He was the guy I trusted the most while I was getting ready to run,” Peggar said postgame. “I was like, if he misses, I'll be shocked.” University Liggett (21-1) had taken a 3-2 lead in penalties after three rounds, and after neither team found the back of the net in regulation or two 10-minute overtime periods. Peggar was stepping back into the net and knew he needed to come up with at least one save to give his team a chance. He ended up stopping the next two, reverting to instinct to guess the proper way and parrying away back-to-back penalties. “I have a really good knack for pens,” Peggar said. “I feel like
