- Changes to MSU trustee code of conduct violate First Amendment, free speech group warns
A free speech group claims Michigan State University's revised board of trustees code of conduct violates the First Amendment by restricting trustees' speech and criticism of institutional decisions. The university defended the changes, citing legal review and similar standards at other institutions, while two trustees who refused to sign the updated code lost conference credentials.
