- After the UWM Post v. UWM Decision, I wrote a bill in the Student
- Senate at Stanford calling for a review of our Grey Interpretation
- of the Fundamental Standard. Written a few years ago by Law Prof
- Thomas Grey, this document is essentially a speech code modifying
- the Fundamental Standard of Student COnduct, which basically says
- be nice and don't cheat. The Senate passed the bill (11-10). A
- referendum on the Spring ballot on the matter saw a plurality of
- students agree that the Grey Interpretation should be rescinded.
-
- Three students (I am one) were elected to three positions on the
- relevant board that adopts such policies all running on anti-speech-code
- platforms. The RAV v St. Paul decision has obviously added impetus
- to the movement to repeal the code, but I thought it interesting
- that the Wisconsin decision basically started the effort by some of
- us at Stanford to repeal our speech code.
