University of Hawaii - Hilo

Hilo, HI

UH Hilo says, 'students benefit most from a well-rounded education that exposes them not only to what they need to know but also how to think critically and interact effectively with the world around them. This means you should take a wide range of courses that go beyond just your major or area of concentration and be open to pushing your intellectual boundaries beyond your comfort zone. In fact, a quality general education will help you be the most effective you can be as an active citizen of your community, as an employee, as a leader, and as a family member.' [Source]

FIRE Speech Code School Rating

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.

Warning: FIRE believes that free speech is not only a moral imperative, but also an essential element of a college education. However, private universities, as private associations, possess their own right to free association, which allows them to prioritize other values above the right to free speech if they wish to do so. Therefore, when a private university clearly and consistently states that it holds a certain set of values above a commitment to freedom of speech, FIRE warns prospective students and faculty members of this fact. Six schools surveyed for this report meet these criteria.
