How do Florida's universities rank for free speech. Some do great, survey says. Some poorly.
Florida State University is one of the best colleges for free speech, according to a national free speech organization's just-released report.
Of around 250 schools surveyed, FSU ranked fifth.
Those surveys were done by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, or FIRE, along with College Pulse, an online survey research and analytics company.
"When there's been attempts to sanction some form of expression on campus, Florida State has, more often than not, defended speakers' rights, whether it's a student, faculty member or invited speaker," said Sean Stevens, FIRE's director of polling and analytics.
Other state schools didn't fare nearly as well.
The University of Florida got put at No. 231, which was not far ahead of the No. 235 University of Central Florida.
