In an article published this morning, New Jersey’s The Star-Ledger examines FIRE’s recent case at Montclair State University and reports on student Joseph Aziz’s ongoing struggle to return to campus. As FIRE explained in our press release Monday, Aziz was suspended and barred from campus for violating an unconstitutional gag order placed on him by school administrators. In comments to the Star-Ledger, Aziz explains that he was shocked by the school’s punishment, warning fellow students that his case is unfortunate proof that the “basic rights that we have come to expect as Americans” are often at risk on campus.
