U.S. Supreme Court justices on Tuesday appeared skeptical that a Texas community college violated the free speech rights of a former member of its board of trustees by censuring him for "reprehensible" behavior during his stormy tenure.
In a cease-and-desist letter, the board threatens legal action if the alumni group continues to publish “misleading or defamatory statements” about the college.
At least four professors have said their requests to participate in lawsuits challenging state policy were rejected. Faculty say the stakes are sky-high.
