Hate Speech and Hate Crimes: Campus Conduct Codes and Supreme Court Rulings
Carolyn J. Palmer, Sophie W. Penney, Donald D. Gehring, Jan Alan Neiger · NASPA Journal · 1997
The authors report on a study designed to assess the use of language prohibiting hate crimes in campus codes of conduct and to determine whether such language unlawfully regulates speech or behavior, or both. The familiarity of senior student affairs officers with the R.A.V. and Wisconsin Supreme Court decisions is also assessed, along with the perceived applicability and actual use of the decisions in revising codes of conduct on college campuses.
