FIRE Speech Rating
New College of Florida earns a Yellow speech code rating from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).New College of Florida has been given the speech code rating Yellow. Yellow light colleges and universities are those institutions with at least one ambiguous policy that too easily encourages administrative abuse and arbitrary application.
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.
Chicago Principles
Colleges and universities that have adopted the Chicago Principles on Freedom of Expression (or substantially similar statements) are committed "to the preservation and celebration of the freedom of expression as an essential element of the University’s culture.” An open marketplace of ideas on campus fosters intellectual development and prepares graduates for the discussion and debate that informs and sustains a free society."As part of man’s long struggle to defeat ignorance by pursuing truth, New College educates its students in the great traditions and moral disciplines of our civilization so that they can lead principled lives of consequence. Through academic excellence, New College develops within students the capacity to think critically and humanely and to conduct themselves with civility, courage, and honor. Together, we seek the good, the true, and the beautiful, in the firm knowledge that only through the eternal verities can we move the earth." [Source]
