“Colorado College has denied student Chris Robinson’s appeal of its finding that he and another student violated the school’s ‘violence’ policy for posting a flyer that parodied a flyer of the Feminist and Gender Studies program. The school also has decided not to remove any letters about the case from the students’ files until after graduation. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is assisting Robinson in his case against the school. ‘First, Colorado College trampled over Chris Robinson’s right to engage in an obvious parody, and now the school has further embarrassed itself by denying his appeal,’ FIRE President Greg Lukianoff said.” (04/28/08)
