In the News: TXST Free Speech Policy Change

“Texas State changed its free speech policy to comply with a mandate from Gov. Greg Abbott that the governor says is meant to curb antisemitic language and incidents on the state’s public college campuses. Consequently, student groups have raised concerns about how the university will decide what it considers a policy violation.”

Lucciana Choueiry, “Texas State has a new free speech policy. Some students have concerns over how it will be policed.” KUT News, July 22, 2024.


“Texas State’s new policy defines antisemitism as ‘a certain perception of Jews that may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. The term includes rhetorical and physical acts of antisemitism directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals or their property or toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.’”

Ryan Claycamp. “TXST changes free speech policy for antisemitism.” The University Star, July 11, 2024.
