Dive Brief:

• A court ruled Wednesday that the University of Wisconsin was justified in seeking an injunction to ban a former student whose protests over fees crossed the line from free speech into unreasonable territory, but the school must submit a more specific rewrite.
• Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that it was unclear if Jeff Decker, a former UW-Stevens Point student, was banned from interacting with any university employee or student, and the exact property he was barred from. 
• The injunction against Decker was reasonable, the court said, because he repeatedly disrupted campus meetings, trespassed on UW property, and tried to buy a gun after police tried to serve him with a temporary restraining order.

Dive Insight:

It would be interesting to see what position the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education — the group that is suing a college and three universities over First Amendment free speech issues — would take on the Decker case. Decker's attorney, Gary Grass, warned that the ruling will make it easier to win restraining orders in other cases where people bother other people when exercising their free speech rights, the Associated Press reported. Decker’s protests were over access to student fees, which he believes is illegally blocked by school officials. Decker says his intent to buy a gun was planned previously and had nothing to do with the serving of the restraining order.
