The College Republicans student group at Northwestern University scored a free speech win by defeating a funding freeze that was implemented by the school's student government after the conservative group hosted James Lindsay.
The school’s student government had used “emergency legislation” after discovering posters advertising for the event, according to aThe legislation was based on the student government’s belief that the flyers advertising Lindsay’s speaking engagement were in violation of the university’s Policy on Discrimination & Harassment.
“We can’t prevent a speaker from coming to campus as student government. That’s done by administration,” Molly Whalen, co-president of ASG, said, adding that the student government therefore “focused on the part that we could control, which is student group conduct and student group finances.” “While the College Republicans regaining their funding is certainly a victory for free expression on campus, we remain concerned that the ASG froze their funding in the first place,” the organization stated.
