KU Student Senate joins call to suspend social media policy

Kansas University’s Student Senate passed a resolution this week urging the Kansas Board of Regents to suspend a controversial social media policy while a regents-created work group reviews it and recommends revisions.

Language passed by the Senate said the social media policy “inhibits of free speech of faculty and staff, depriving them of the academic and personal freedoms necessary to effectively educate students.”

The student government joins other university groups around the state urging the regents to suspend the policy while it is under review.
