Solzhenitsyn: Which is Higher--Law or Morality?

 “It is widely accepted among lawyers that law is higher than morality - law is something which is worked out and developed, whereas morality is something inchoate and amorphous. That isn't the case. The opposite is rather true!” --Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Should law reflect morality? Or should morality reflect law?

If You Are Censored or Cancelled

 If You Are Censored or Cancelled: One of my obligations to my students is to make sure their First Amendment rights are respected and protected here in the Law College. If you are the victim of censorship, whether based upon something you said on campus or off campus, I am always available to talk with you about it. You have strong First Amendment rights. And the Law College has made a commitment to diversity, inclusion, free speech, and community which should transcend ideological differences. 

Pro tip: if you are ever called into an administrator's office based upon something you said, make sure to record the meeting to ensure that you have an accurate account of what you supposedly said, what the complaint against you is, and why the administrator believes your speech needs correction. Be polite, but also be courageous. Ask the Administrator about the Free Speech Clause and how it applies to state universities. Students have powerful free speech rights, and an accurate record may prove to be of critical importance to protecting your constitutional rights.
