YAL is a “libertarian, classical liberal and conservative student activism organization,” according to their website. UAH student Joshua Greer filed a lawsuit in the Madison County Circuit Court on behalf of the organization against UAH and the UA system in response to the policy.

UAH’s policy states that students are allowed to protest, but not until they get clearance at least three days in advance, and they must get university approval before doing so.

On the plus side, this case does involve First Amendment issues of government interference with free speech. Finally something of relevance.

But the headline seems to go a bit far. I gather the state supreme court is allowing the case to proceed (so in that sense is a plaintiff victory, rather than the case being tossed out), but the case still needs to be decided on its merits in court.

Now that the Alabama Supreme Court has allowed the lawsuit to continue, “the case will proceed on the merits in circuit court,” according to attorney Mathew Hoffmann.
