Uc Berkeley Research Paper

In her article “Progressive Ideas Have Killed Free Speech on Campus” Wendy Kaminer, an American lawyer and writer, was branded a racist while having a friendly debate during a panel for Smith College. Kaminer made a reasonable case by providing many examples from a different variety of colleges who have experienced a free speech debate. She also stated: “How did a verbal defense of free speech become tantamount to a hate crime and offensive words become the equivalent of physical assaults?” I couldn’t agree with Kaminer more. People need to toughen up and not take things so literally.  Offensive words are not equivalent to physical assaults.

“I have opinions that, frankly, a lot of people are thinking. They just won't tell people. They don't pollsters. They don't tell journalists. But they think it” (Lieberman). These are the words of conservative blogger and self-proclaimed “provocateur,” Milo Yiannopoulos. Yiannopoulos had been scheduled to speak at the UC Berkeley campus, but given UC Berkeley Police Department’s security concerns surrounding his appearance, the event had been cancelled. Yiannopoulos argues that his First Amendment right had been violated and vows to return for a future event, “Free Speech Week.” Additionally, Ku Klux Klan activist Chris Cantwell has been invited to speak. The University argues that due to Yiannopoulos’ past doxing activities and the threat of violence associated with his presence, it is not required to accommodate such speech. In this memo, I will provide legal precedents arguing that 1) “Free Speech Week” should be permitted to proceed with or without Chris Cantwell, 2) the associated KKK rallies should be permitted to proceed, and 3) a counter-argument addressing the strengthening of civil disobedience.

In today’s society, a good quality education is an important and valuable necessity. As a college student at Lone Star College, my college experience has greatly influenced me in an enormous amount of ways.

It wasn't Stony Brook's fault, they said and did all the right things. The media finally hopped on board, there were articles, ESPN love, and radio appearances. As much as a team tries to control the outside noise, it's never as easy as it sounds.

Washington D.C was an outstanding experience. It was a very frigid day in November. When we arrived we were all shivering in our boots. The first museum we went to was the Holocaust Museum. The Museum was very depressing. One of the exhibits that was the most depressing were the shoes of the victims who didn't survive the Holocaust. I didn't remember what the quote but it was deep .

Eureka College’s lines of communication have increased in a positive way over the last year, I believe that’s due to the new leadership in the college of communication role. Eureka College’s number one system to communicate for any crisis on campus we use RAVE. This systems alerts everyone who is in the college’s system. Eureka College use to have three different emailing systems that went out over the course of a week, having three different types of emailing systems became very overwhelming. Now there is just “College of Communications and the Re Devil Report.” These two emailing systems provide information from new hires, organization updates, community information, higher education information, spotlight on someone, games, updates, and anything else important. Vice President Dr. Jamel San Cruz Bell is in charge of all internal and external communications that are campus wide messages. Only certain staff and faculty members are allowed to send mass emails to others on campus. Those people are usually:

On August 12, 2017, a “Unite the Right” rally was planned to protest the removal of a Statue of Robert E. Lee. This “Unite the Right” rally was the largest white supremacist rally in recent U.S history and caused a local state of emergency to be declared in Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle. ( “Charlottesville Attack: What”, 2017) This state of emergency caused local officials to be able to call the rally a “unlawful assembly ”. Many accounts state that many of the alt-right protestors came geared up with batons, shields, guns and face masks (Yan, 2017). The peak of the protest hit when a speeding car rammed into a group of anti-racist protesters injuring 19 and killing one. ( “Charlottesville Attack: What”, 2017) The driver

Statistics show that 15% of student populations are prone to campus violence if they have been conflicted with any type of harassment. (Bleau, Hannah) In the past few years’ campus violence has been a pressing issue in the United States, and in many instances it has been the front -page news. Campus violence is defined as, any act or threat of physical aggression or obliteration of property by any individual on school grounds. Though threats can vary and could include provisional or direct threats in oral or written forms, harassment, harm or endangerment of property or person, intimidation and other disruptive behavior performed at an educational institution; each can create substantial harm if not death. There have been multiple controversial arguments throughout the United States considering campus violence as the subject matter, and almost each case deals with the death of innocent people. If a new law is not passed to create a stable environment through tightened security for public and private institutes then massacres such as the Virginia Tech Massacre, Columbine Massacre and the most recent, Umpqua Community College shooting will continue to drive other’s to replicate such ruthless behavior.

When reading the assigned chapter in the book and article on D2L, the most important unanswered question from the readings is can there be a boundary when it comes to freedom of speech if there is no encouragement of violence? In the article online, Judith Butler, a University of California - Berkeley professor explains why shy supports freedom of speech on campus, but why she feels there is a point of going to far. She explains that when Milo Yiannapoulous was invited to the university, she was one of the faculty who signed a letter that stated they would not like this speaker to speak on campus. In her reasoning, this speaker pushes the boundaries of freedom of speech where she feels it goes too far.

On the 28th of September, 2011, a controversial case was resolved at Federal Court concerning two provocative articles by the Herald Sun newspaper columnist, Andrew Bolts. He lost on the grounds of racial vilification according to section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. Upon hearing the court’s decision, Andrew Bolts said “This is a terrible day for free speech in this country.” raising an interesting question, “Should Anti-Discrimination laws be able to restrict the freedom of expression if it can cause offense?” To answer this question, we will examine the extent to which offense is permissible on the basis of “freedom of expression” and when it crosses the boundaries and starts to cost another individual their reputation and liberty.
