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

The Washtenaw Weekly: El-Sayed in Ypsi, new A2 mayor, Dingell on Dem wins and more

Patrick Dunn: Welcome to The Washtenaw Weekly, a new podcast from 89.1 WEMU. I'm your host, Patrick Dunn. Every Friday, we'll bring you the top five stories from the past week of WEMU's reporting on Washtenaw County. From Ann Arbor to Ypsilanti and beyond, we've got you covered on the community news you need to know. The midterm elections dominated the news this week, of course, with Democrats racking up big wins nationwide. Washtenaw County voters turned out in record numbers for a midterm election, with almost 72% of registered voters casting a ballot. One of the most closely followed races across the country was the battle for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat. Abdul El-Sayed defeated Mike Rogers for that seat in Tuesday's election. But first, he made one of his final campaign stops at Eastern Michigan University's Student Center in Ypsilanti on Monday. U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced El-Sayed, who spoke to a fired-up capacity crowd.
