FIRE Speech Rating
University of West Alabama earns a Yellow speech code rating from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).A yellow light institution maintains policies that could be interpreted to suppress protected speech or policies that, while clearly restricting freedom of speech, restrict relatively narrow categories of speech.
FIRE evaluates colleges and universities' "speech codes," or written free speech policies, for how well they protect students' freedom of speech. ACTA believes an institution's commitment to free expression correlates with its commitment to academic excellence, facilitated through the free exchange of ideas.
"The primary mission of the University is to enrich lives through education, service and outreach by providing opportunities for students to pursue a quality education through associate, baccalaureate, master’s, education specialist and doctoral degrees in liberal arts, natural sciences and mathematics, nursing, technology, business and education."
