Cartwright et. al Status: Open Recent Activity: February 16, 2021 complaint filed Case launch: February 16, 2021 (United States District Court for the Midde District of Florida) Issues being challenged: Discriminatory harassment policy Computer use policy Just Knights Response Team (JKRT) “UCF’s disciplinary measures associated with their bias response team resemble reeducation camps, forcing adult college students to sit through patronizing lectures on which types of speech the university considers acceptable. Unfortunately for the school, the Constitution does not give UCF the authority to judge the content of student speech.” – Nicole Neily
