It also has served as a trendsetter for the larger society, a laboratory where social change first begins to ferment and find an outlet. The campus has been seen as a community of established and aspiring scholars, freed from the prejudices of the larger society, who enjoyed the luxury of pursuing an unburdened intellectual life. As such, the campus of our romantic ideal has been one of the very last places where bigotry would be expected to find a home. The reality on some campuses today, unfortunately, is far from ideal. Students, faculty and staff are subjected to verbal and physical harassment based on their actual or perceived race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or other identity groups. Such hatred comes from influences and attitudes outside the campus as well as from individuals and elements from within the institution. Academia, in this regard, has become both a mirror of the larger society and a place where bigotry is reflected into surrounding communities. Prejudice is not simply a frustration on campus, but a significant threat to the integrity of academic institutions and a formidable challenge to their ability to carry out their core educational mission. College and university presidents and senior administrators are key players in the fight against bigotry on campus. Campus leaders set the overall tone of the university and serve as the role models students, faculty, and the larger community look to for guidance in times of crisis. Therefore, it is essential that university administrators take a strong leadership role when hatred and bigotry surfaces on campus to ensure the safety and well-being of students, faculty and staff and to maintain the integrity of the institution. Building upon its long history and experience in combating all forms of bigotry on and off campus, the Anti-Defamation League produced the second edition of the Responding to Bigotry and Intergroup Strife on Campus Guide to provide comprehensive assistance to leaders of the academic community. The Guide begins with background information on hate crimes and incidents, followed by sections that deal with specific campus scenarios relevant to free speech, bias and diversity. Each section includes legal background and analysis, specific action steps and examples of presidential statements that have proven to be effective responses in similar scenarios. Included in the Appendix are examples of presidential statements divided by the motivation behind the incident, such as racism, anti-Semitism and homophobia. Finally, the Guide offers a prospectus of anti-bias education programs available through ADL’s acclaimed A CAMPUS OF DIFFERENCE™ diversity training program, as well as examples of college and university policies that have been enacted to fight and prevent acts of hate. We trust you will find this Guide to be a valuable tool in your ongoing work to make your campus, and the larger community, a better and more fruitful place for all of us to live and work. ADL remains committed to its goal of being an accessible resource for the campus community in fighting hate and in developing educational programs to help prevent it. With best regards, Glen S. Lewy, National Chair Abraham H. Foxman, National Director Foreword 5 6 Anti-Defamation League: Responding to Bigotry and Intergroup Strife on Campus Dedication Dr. Jeffrey Ross, the Anti-Defamation League’s former Director of Campus/Higher Education Affairs, passed away suddenly on July 8, 2003. Jeffrey Ross dedicated 19 years of his life to combating anti-Semitism and hate crimes on college and university campuses throughout the United States. One of Jeffrey’s most significant contributions to combating bigotry on campus is the first edition of this publication: Responding to Bigotry and Intergroup Strife on Campus: A Guide for College and University Presidents and Senior Administrators, a comprehensive publication designed to provide concrete advice to senior campus administrators on combating hate on campus. With an update of his original publication, we honor him and his life’s work with campus communities to help them establish safe and nurturing learning environments that promote respect, understanding, freedom of speech and the value of diversity. Jeffrey took the most pride and joy in interacting with students and staff, speaking about these issues of acceptance and the need for continued dialogue on campuses throughout the country. His experience enabled him to put each incident into its proper perspective, reacting appropriately and offering just the right counsel. He was always careful to distinguish between valid political speech and campus hatred and hate crimes. In situations when others might have overreacted, Jeffrey provided a calming influence, responding professionally and effectively. The Anti-Defamation League and campus communities across the United States miss Jeffrey’s clarity and guidance in handling issues of bigotry and diversity on campus. At the Anti-Defamation League, we are dedicated to continuing his vision of college campus life free from bias and bigotry—a place where everyone is accepted and respected in our most treasured learning communities. Dedication 7 8 Anti-Defamation League: Responding to Bigotry and Intergroup Strife on Campus The Anti-Defamation League The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is one of the nation’s premier civil rights and human relations agencies. When ADL was established in 1913, its charter stated: “The immediate object of the League is to stop, by appeals to reason and conscience, and if necessary, by appeals to law, the defamation of the Jewish people. Its ultimate purpose is to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike and to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens.” With this charter, ADL called for a society in which all minority groups would be granted the same rights of freedom from discrimination traditionally enjoyed by the majority. ADL’s long-term commitment to fighting anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry is the basis for all of its anti-bias initiatives. Today, ADL’s offices in the United States and abroad work to secure justice and equitable treatment for all people through information, education, legislation and advocacy. Its Legal Affairs staff files amicus briefs and advocates for civil rights policy and against discrimination. (For example, 45 states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws similar to or based on the ADL model hate crime statute, which may enhance penalties when crimes are committed because of a victim’s immutable identity, such as race,

THE USE OF STUDENT CONDUCT CODES TO CENSOR COLLEGE STUDENTS’ ONLINE SPEECH DARRYN CATHRYN BECKSTROM* INTRODUCTION Matthew Walston, an undergraduate student at the University of Central Florida, was like many other college students. He had an account on the social networking site, Facebook, and he used it to interact with other college students.1 A few years ago, Walston used his account to create a group titled, “Victor Perez is a Jerk and a Fool,” to protest Perez’s candidacy for Student Senate.2 Perez subsequently filed a complaint with Central Florida’s Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, claiming that Walston had engaged in “personal abuse” against him, in violation of the school’s student conduct code.3 The online form Perez used to report the violation, a “Golden Rule Incident Report Form,” asked students to 4 determine whether the incident occurred on-campus or off-campus. * B.A., University of Minnesota; M.A., M.P.A., University of Wisconsin-Madison; Ph.D. candidate, Department of Political Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison; J.D. candidate, University of Minnesota Law School.
