Actually, free speech is constantly under attack at universities all over the US. FIRE spends most of it's time dealing with such things, in fact.

I think it's pretty lame that there are a lot of incidents in recent years where there'll be a speaker some group hired to come in, and then people who disagree with that person will go there and try to yell and drown them out every time they say something.

People who show up to drown out a speaker arn't there to exercise their right to free speech, they're there to impede someone else's.

Perhaps if you actually read some of these cases you wouldn't be so quick to open your mouth and insert thine foot. The problem isn't that these speech codes say "don't be an rear end in a top hat", the problem is that the way they're written is unconstitutionally vague (and the courts generally have agreed with this, over and over).

They mean little or nothing until the university decides to use it to try to run out a student (or a professor) that someone in the administration doesn't like.
