OCR DOJ Blueprint Threatens Speech at Colleges
Washington Post columnist George Will critiques the OCR and DOJ for proposing a harsh blueprint on handling campus harassment. The piece argues the plan could chill free speech, blur lines with unequal due process, and punish non offensive conduct, warning of federal funding consequences and broader government overreach. It cites Eugene Volokh, Greg Lukianoff, Wendy Kaminer, and Hans Bader to support concerns about censorship and constitutional rights.
