Brown U. rules against free speech
Billy O'Keefe
Campus Correspondent
Columbia College
Students at Brown University
in Providence, R.I., will be required
to conform to a controversial set of
new guidelines on free speech, in
troduced last week by the university
and effective at the end of the cur
rent semester. On the cutting block
are most forms of negative and in
flammatory speech,
JaninaMontero, Brown’s vice
president for Campus Life and Stu
dent Services, trumpeted the deci
sion, adding that student safety and
open-mindedness are more impor
tant than total freedom.
“The First Amendment was
created under extenuating circum
stances of total freedom,” Montero
said. “Allowing that freedom among
all people is unrealistic, especially
in a community of respectful inter
action.”
The specifics and degree of
the provision are being debated,
with Montero and Dean of Student
Life Robin Rose heading up a task
force.
The staff of the Brown Daily
Herald, the school’s student news
paper, called the move “a welcome
sign of change for a campus cli
mate that has often fostered de
structive and disturbing behavior.”
Montero welcomed all stu
dent groups except one, the Ameri
can Civil Liberties Union, to sub
mit suggestions to the task force.
She said that the ACLU is part of
the problem, not the solution, and
is not welcome to join in the nego
tiations.
“The ACLU stands for ev
erything that is wrong with this
campus,” Montero said.
“Students should not always
be allowed to speak their mind.
This is not a democracy.”
The office of Admissions is looldng for
energetic, outgoing students, who iile to
travel the Bon College campus.

cash prize as champions of the tour

“Without a doubt we new we
were going to win,” Schifano said.
“There were some really good play
ers though.”
