This year, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education is releasing its 10th list of the “worst colleges for free speech.” Since our first list in 2011, more than 70 institutions in 31 states have found themselves named and shamed for actively working to shut down student and faculty speech rights.
Each year, hundreds of students and faculty members come to FIRE for help when their individual rights are threatened. Many of these cases are quietly resolved. Many more are resolved not so quietly. But the cases you’ll read about below are the ones that went kicking and screaming right onto this list.
Two Collin College professors say they are being pushed out of their jobs in part because they challenged the administration’s COVID-19 response.
Professors Suzanne Jones and Audra Heaslip say they were called before college leadership last week and told their contracts would not be renewed at the end of this semester. Both had previously questioned the way school officials handled the coronavirus pandemic.
“I was told that I had put outside pressure on the college reopening during COVID,” Heaslip said of her meeting with school leaders.
It’s the latest example of the Collin College administration infringing on employees’ rights and lashing out against those who are critical, some faculty and advocates allege.
