Soon after medical students at Dartmouth College started lodging criticism against administrators over a cheating scandal, the Ivy League university released a new social media policy.
“Disparaging other members of the Geisel UME community will trigger disciplinary review,” the April 5 social media policy says, according to a copy posted by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
The free speech group sent a letter on April 14 to the Ivy League university with a request that they clarify the policy and protect freedom of expression.
