Student Rights

The second objective was stated as, "a
comprehensive examination of present
University regulations with suggestions as to
their improvement, undertaken with a view to
insuring student rights, defining student
responsibilities, and protecting the legitimate
interests of the University.

"An effort to define the scope and limits of
speech and other forms of expression, not only
as currently protected by the First
Amendment, but also in light of the
University's long tradition of freedom of
inquiry, thought, and expression for all
members of this community of scholars;" was
listed as the third goal of the committee.
