FIRE's Guide to Due Process and Fair Procedure on Campus (Fire's Guides to Student Rights on Campus)

1 review
Harvey A. Silverglate, Josh Gewolb

Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, 2003

Comprehensive, but pretty dry
The information in this guide is good. But it seems to be written for lawyers and other professionals, because it's almost unreadable. Really, really dry stuff. I suppose it's hard to make this kind of thing interesting, so I didn't expect it to be fun. But this failed at making the information even palatable. If you're in an absolute bind (meaning facing a hearing that could result in getting ...

The Shadow University: The Betrayal of Liberty on America's Campuses

Irritatingly Good
This book will make you angry. If it doesn't, then you did not READ it. Many of the examples in the book made me rethink how the college life is. Too often, Americans look at the universities as places of open and honest debate about ideas regarding society and then we are disappointed when we see that academia is stifling and punishing free expression. Speech codes and suppression of ...

Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent

Three felonies a day
Every judge should read this book as well as all the members of congress!! We are at a critical point in the history of this country in regards to legislating laws on the federal level. We cannot go on like this or we will destroy the very basic meaning of the constitution as it applies to individuals. Laws are not meant to be prosecutor friendly and innocent people are at risk for the betterment ...

FIRE's Guide to First-Year Orientation and Thought Reform on Campus

Jordan Lorence; Harvey Silverglate

Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, 2005

First Draft?
FIRE is a great organization, but I'd recommend "FIRE's Guide to Free Speech on Campus" before this book. Some of the chapters read like first drafts, and the book is thin on case law support. I was hoping for more of a "here's how we'll fix it" book. It's a valuable book for giving students a head's-up on the kind of issues that may lie ahead in their college experience.

Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), 2005

FIREs Guides to Student Rights on Campus is a set of innovative, widely respected, and well-received vehicle for changing the culture on college and university campuses. They do so by emphasizing the critical importance of legal equality over the selective assignment of rights and responsibilities, of self-governance over coercion, and of the rule of law and fair procedure over the ad hoc and arbitrary imposition of partisan and repressive rules.

A must-read for all who care about higher ed...or liberty
I know what you're thinking: whoop-de-doo, a boring book by a bunch of lawyers on complicated legal gobbeldygook. And that's not a bad pre-supposition, as pre-suppositions go: free speech law is indeed complicated, and the authors of FIRE's Guide to Free Speech are indeed lawyers. But contrary to what one might logically expect, this book is a page-turner indeed. Having read the tome, I can ...
