FIRE Speech Rating

Morehead State University 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, Morehead University seeks to "Educate students for success in a global environment; Engage in scholarship; Promote diversity of people and ideas; Foster innovation, collaboration and creative thinking; and Serve our communities to improve the quality of life."
