Texas Reverses Ban on Dorm Window Signs

October 10, 2008 RSS Feed Print

The University of Texas has temporarily reversed its ban on placing signs in dorm windows, saving two students who refused to take down their political signs from any sanction, the Daily Texan reports. Before the university suspended the rule Thursday, the two roommates attended a disciplinary hearing at which they were told that if they did not remove the signs, they would be barred from class registration and could face expulsion.

The university will create a committee to decide whether the housing department should permanently alter or expunge the rule.
