Doe v. University of Michigan, 721 F. Supp. 852 (E.D. Mich. 1989), was a case that determined that the University of Michigan's 1988 hate speech law violated the constitutional right to free speech.[1]

Background[edit]

In the late 1980s, incidents of hate crimes and racial slurs were increasing on American campuses. Michigan was one of the first schools in the late 80s to adopt a hate speech code, prohibiting negative speech towards specific ethnic groups, women, LGBT people and other minorities.

Outcome[edit]

The court ruled in favor of Doe and against the University.[2]
