Reject feminist calls to ban anonymous speech on campus, broad coalition tells regulators

Article here. Excerpt:

'A broad coalition of groups has asked the Department of Education to reject calls from feminist groups to ban anonymous speech on campus under an extremely loose interpretation of Title IX – and to revise its own definition of harassment.

The National Coalition Against Censorship, American Association of University Professors, Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and Student Press Law Center are defending student use of apps including Yik Yak, which lets students share their thoughts anonymously in a campuswide feed.

The letter responds to an effort by dozens of feminist and civil rights groups to punish the University of Mary Washington for not monitoring, identifying and punishing students who post offensive content on apps like Yik Yak, saying it constitutes harassment under Title IX.'
