AUSTIN, Texas — Just as college students are heading back to class, a new law affecting them will take effect.
It has to do with free speech on campus. The measure was filed in response to concerns that conservative voices were being stifled on Texas campuses.
It requires schools to allow people to engage in “expressive activities” in common spaces outdoors.
“I think the big thing to take away from this bill is, not only do we have the legislature telling colleges you can’t cordon off free speech spaces and close the rest of campus off. You can’t put onerous permit requirements on the right to peaceably assemble. But it’s really about making sure the colleges, I think, are more transparent and proactive in informing students, staff, faculty, other visitors to campus, what their policies are,” said Austin-based attorney JT Morris, who specializes in the First Amendment and free speech rights.
Senate Bill 18 also creates disciplinary sanctions for students who interfere with the free speech activities of others. It also establishes a process for addressing complaints of potential free speech violations.

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
