In wake of court ruling, Southeastern Louisiana U. nixes security fee for outside speakers

The Chronicle of Higher Education: “The Alliance Defense Fund was pleased with the panel’s opinion regarding the security fee but plans to ask the full appellate court to re-examine the other parts of Mr. Sonnier’s appeal. The three-judge panel should have considered not whether Southeastern Louisiana’s policy could be valid in some circumstances but whether its restrictive provisions were narrowly tailored to meet the university’s interests, said [Nathan W. Kellum], senior counsel for the group. ‘If the court would apply the right standard, they would come up with the right result,’ Mr. Kellum said.”
