A free-speech group has filed a lawsuit against Oklahoma State University (OSU) over policies that it alleges violate constitutional rights to free speech.

The lawsuit, filed by Speech First, a Washington-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the defense of freedom of expression on campuses, challenges several university policies that it says “deter, suppress, and punish speech about political and social issues of the day.”
