FIRE Criticizes University of Alabama's Magazine Ban

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) has criticized the University of Alabama for removing two student magazines, Alice and Nineteen Fifty-Six, citing a violation of student press freedom and First Amendment rights. FIRE argues that the universitys decision to replace them with a single publication is an attack on student media and discriminates against the magazines viewpoints. The university maintains that it will continue to fund student media and that First Amendment rights remain intact, but FIRE demands the reinstatement of the original magazines.
