Texas State University • Status: Lawsuit Filed

Speech First v. McCall et al.

April 13, 2023

Recent Activity: September 6th, 2023: Filed a Notice of Appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

Case Launched: April 13th, 2023 (United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division)

Issues Being Challenged:

• University Discriminatory Harassment Policy
• University Computer Policy

“By implementing policies that restrict how students can discuss politics or any of the societal issues of the day, the university has forced students to opt-out of classroom discussions. Instead, they choose not to speak up, concerned they may be accused of harassment for “offending” someone.”

-Cherise Trump, Executive Director, Speech First
