UK university fined £585,000 for free speech violations

Sky News reports:

The University of Sussex has been fined a record £585,000 by the higher education regulator for failing to uphold freedom of speech.

Hopefully that will change the incentives somewhat.

Prof Roseneil, the vice chancellor at the university, said the OfS findings mean “it makes it almost impossible for universities to have any policies that will control how people speak or relate to each other on campuses”.

What is hilarious, is she sees this as an awful thing.

And the only thing that universities will effectively be able to do is regulate unlawful speech.”

Oh no, only unlawful speech will be banned! What a disaster.
