Freedom of speech controversy

In September 2016, three people were arrested after giving out copies of the U.S. Constitution on a school campus. School officials told the students to stop the event because they believed it broke the school's rules about speaking on campus. The students were then arrested by campus police for being on school property without permission.

Later, the YAL Organization filed a lawsuit against the school. The school agreed to pay a $55,000 settlement.
