Safety

 The article I chose was "Free Speech off Campus Must Be Protected. The reason why I chose this article was because I found it interesting to read. The reason why this argument was interesting was because as a current college student, I don't feel as safe as I did when i was in high school. There a hundredths of people coming in and out of the University with no type of security. This is why this argument is very significant, I think that security in universities are extremely important, and any of type of issues should addressed as soon as possible. 


This article argues that the University of Minnesota believes they should regulate what students say on social-networking pages about the regarding the college whether its out side or inside the institution .The case that began in 2000 in the University of Minnesota that involved a student and her fellow mortuary science classmate. On their Facebook page they had posted a joke about how they both had nicknamed their laboratory cadaver "Bernie", and about stabbing someone with a dissecting knife.
The post was forward to the University of Minnesota authorities by another classmate. A criminal investigation began and concluded that the formal students had no harm to anyone, but the university imposed disciplinary charges to the students anyway.
