Michigan Judge Strikes Down Controversial University Policy on Racial Harassment.

Black Issues in Higher Education, v6 n13 p1,14 Sep 14 1989

A University of Michigan policy barred harassment or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, creed, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, handicapped, or Vietnam-veteran status. It was declared unconstitutional because it violated First Amendment rights. University officials may rewrite policy or appeal the judge's ruling. (JS)
