Senators debate campus speech limits and fees on events
Some senators warn the bill imposes many limits on administrators including prohibiting charging security fees by event content. Senator Hawk cites Charlottesville violence example while Masterson says schools may regulate time place and manner but not fees by speech content. An amendment removing faculty from the free view clause was defeated 26 to 12. The bill moves toward final action then to the House.
