Will Creeley of FIRE weighs in on the argument advanced by Dartmouth trustee John Engelman that the school never had a speech code and therefore ousted trustee Todd Zywicki was uttering falsehoods when he complained that his alma mater did not adequately protect student free-speech rights. You can read his piece here.

By implication, it seems that trustee Engelman had no problem with Dartmouth’s formerly restrictive policies, ones that earned it a “red light” from FIRE. That has been changed to “green,” but probably without any effort from the Tories on the board.
