Amendment offered
by
To cut university operations funding by 25 percent if the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) gives the school a "yellow" rating for imposing campus "speech code" and related restrictions, and a 50 percent cut if FIRE gives the school a “red” rating for restricting free speech and engaging in viewpoint discrimination. FIRE has issued “yellow” ratings on Ferris State university, Grand Valley, Michigan State, Oakland, Saginaw Valley and Wayne State universities, and to Central, Western, Northern and Eastern state universities, and Western Michigan University. All three University of Michigan campuses have been deemed “red” zones by FIRE, along with Lake Superior State University.
