A Proposed Process For Managing The First Amendment Aspects Of Campus Hate Speech, William A. Kaplin

Scholarly Articles

For public institutions, attempts to regulate hate speech raise substantial legal issues under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. For private institutions, which may not be bound by the First Amendment, attempts to regulate hate speech raise sensitive policy questions concerning the role of free expression on campus. Numerous articles (many of which are listed in the references below) have undertaken substantive analysis of these constitutional issues and policy questions. In contrast, this article explores a preliminary and overarching concern: the process by which a college or university addresses the problem of hate speech, and in particular the process …

‘Hate Speech’ On The College Campus: Freedom Of Speech And Equality At The Crossroads, William A. Kaplin

Scholarly Articles

This article focuses on the First Amendment implications of the hate speech problem, comparing the free speech values that may be endangered by attempts to regulate hate speech with the equality values that may be endangered if hate speech is left unchecked. I will also concentrate on processes that universities may devise to resolve these crucial value questions. My goal is to add order and balance to the differing points of view concerning hate speech, and to bring a measure of practicality and concreteness to what has often been a rather theoretical and abstract debate.

He begins by reviewing how the evolving needs of academic medical centers and for-profit hospital chains have generated mutual interest in such arrangements.

Opponents of the acquisition and leasing of …

Common Sense In Formation For The Common Good - Justice White's Dissents In The Parochial School Aid Cases: Patron Of Lost Causes Or Precursor Of Good News, John J. Coughlin

Journal Articles

This Article envisions a new order for public education in this country. Pursuant to the new order, a free market under appropriate government regulation rather than unchecked political authority would determine the flow of public aid to various schools. Such an order would enable parents to choose what kind of school, secular or sectarian, presents the most desirable educational environment. The new arrangement would also provide incentives for quality education, as schools now run by the state government would have to compete on an even field with schools that currently receive no public funds.
