...their friends. Harvard bands need a place to rock out, and Hilles’ fourth floor should offer both the practice and performance space they need, far from the eardrums of students in their dorm rooms.

Calvary and the ACSI charge that refusing to count these course amounts to penalizing students for taking Christian-themed classes. Ultimately, they worry that the UC’s restrictions will chill speech at private Christian schools, forcing them to secularize in order to provide an “acceptable” education. There can be no question that maintaining free speech in the academy is essential to promoting the open discourse that is fundamental to American society...
