FIRE Speech Rating
University of Utah earns a Yellow speech code rating from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).A yellow light institution maintains policies that could be interpreted to suppress protected speech or policies that, while clearly restricting freedom of speech, restrict relatively narrow categories of speech.
FIRE evaluates colleges and universities' "speech codes," or written free speech policies, for how well they protect students' freedom of speech. ACTA believes an institution's commitment to free expression correlates with its commitment to academic excellence, facilitated through the free exchange of ideas.
According to its mission statement, "The University of Utah fosters student success by preparing students from diverse backgrounds for lives of impact as leaders andcitizens. We generate and share new knowledge, discoveries, and innovations, and we engage local and global communities topromote education, health, and quality of life. These contributions, in addition to responsible stewardship of ourintellectual, physical, and financial resources, ensure the long‐term success and viability of the institution." [Source]
