A lot of people do not agree with campus guidelines or speech codes because they violate the First Amendment. Many people believe that if we are able to put regulations on speech on campus, then what is going to stop us from imposing those regulations elsewhere. People do not want to lose their r

The University of Idaho has a very undefined rule against any such instances. The University of Idaho's article III Physical abuse, Hazing, or Harassment states: 1. "Living together in a university community requires respect for the rights of fellow members of that community to pursue their academic goals and to participate in lawful campus or UI activities." 2.

Aunt Jemima and Mother Fucker."(157) It is actions like these that are causing a stir for guidelines. Sure, people want to keep their rights, but how far can people go? What's over the top? Where can we draw the line? There are people who are doing their best to protect against the hate without violating the First Amendment. Stating guidelines very carefully and specifically worded. Charles R. Lawrence III was in favor of a "colleagues speech regulations draft" but has some important points of his own. (157) Lawrence says, "Face-to-Face insults, like fighting words, are undeserving of the
