Has UWO Chancellor Wells or UWFV Dean Perry endorsed Freedom of Student Press
Published Thursday, March 02, 2006 by Justin Mitchell | E-mail this post
In response to the decision by the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in Hosty v. Carter, the The Student Press Law Center (SPLC) is urging public colleges and universities in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin to sign the following freedom of press statement:
The Chancellor at the University of Wisconsin Platteville signed on back in Novemeber.
SPLC Continues:
"The Student Press Law Center will publish the names of public schools in the Seventh Circuit that have recognized their student media as designated public forums as well as those that have not. The SPLC will periodically send the list of schools that have refused to issue such a statement (or who have ignored a request to do so) to state and national high school media organizations and will actively discourage high school students from attending a college or university that will not commit to supporting press freedom.
If you are on a public college or university campus in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin and would like your school added to the list of those that do recognize press freedom, please send us the following information:
1) A copy of a signed statement from a school administrator that one or more named student news organizations on your campus are operating as designated public forums where student editors have authority to determine the content without advance approval.
2) If not clear from the above, the name and title of the official who signed the statement and the date it was approved.
3) Your name, title, telephone number and e-mail address. Send the information to the SPLC via e-mail or by regular mail to:

"[Name of student news media organization] is a designated public forum. Student editors have the authority to make all content decisions without censorship or advance approval.
