Employees at a public university in West Virginia told a student to stop promoting his conservative club on campus because he was being “too outgoing.” Dustin Winsky, a senior at Fairmont State University, was recruiting students to join the school’s Young Americans for Liberty chapter on Aug. 30, when campus police approached him and told him to shut down the operation. The authorities reportedly said his efforts to talk to students about liberty and limited government were “too outgoing.”

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education wrote the school, advising them to reform the rhetoric of the campus solicitation policy. On April 20, 2017 the Board of Governors approved the language submitted by FIRE.
