This fall, more than twenty Students for Liberty-affiliated chapters across the country passed out over 1,500 copies of FIRE's Guide to Free Speech on Campus and over 500 copies of FIRE's Guide to First-Year Orientation and Thought Reform on Campus at orientations and student group fairs on their respective campuses. The effort was part of a coordinated "Students Rights Week" held on campuses across the country. It was a great way to kick off the fall semester and inform new and returning students about their essential rights on campus.

During the dinner, famed journalist and Manhattan Institute scholar John Leo gave the keynote address. The next day's session was filled to the brim with lectures, panels and general activity. Students heard from FIRE Co-Founder Harvey Silverglate, Senior Counsel Steve Aden of the Alliance Defense Fund, Stanford Law Professor Derek Shaffer and Professor of Brooklyn College and author KC Johnson all in one morning. That afternoon, FIRE President Greg Lukianoff gave a presentation about students' rights, while FIRE Vice President Robert Shibley and Samantha Harris, Director of FIRE's Spotlight program, explained the dangers and prevalence of speech codes on campus. KC Johnson stunned listeners with a complete review of the travesty of the Duke University lacrosse case in his after-dinner speech.
