Summary
Chapter 5 examines and criticizes how dissent is managed on university campuses. Focusing on the outdoor and open areas of campus, it criticizes the use of permits, fees, zoning, and other aspects of the managerial system that apply outside campus gates. The chapter urges university officials to adopt a default standard of open inquiry and dissent in the non-professional and non-pedagogical spaces on their campuses. Campus administrators should carefully review their free speech policies not only to ensure they comply with the First Amendment (which is required in the case of public universities), but to ensure that campuses retain the “spirit of rebellion” that animated them in the past.
