The story left out that the DART members carry adult diapers for student use as needed.

What a load of shit!!

I have a feeling they aren't privy to any activity involving Christian Coalition Right Wing Conservatives(country program directors and Nashville record executives).

I think they need to form a support group for the DART team called Friends of Assembly Response Team.

I was there from 1971 to 1975. Only demonstration I remember was when we streaked down sorority row in spring 75.

No 3:13. That is in the adult diapers that 3:09 mentioned.

That is brilliant 3:14 and in case that went over the head of the less keen or more tired among us here is the punchline: FART!

"Team members walk across campus throughout the day and search for any demonstrations or free speech activities taking place . . . The faculty members can also help provide . . . different perspectives for the demonstration’s ideas." I'm ashamed to be a graduate of this school.

As a former faculty member of real universities not political correctness U I would like to inquire what would be different perspectives could/would be presented by a Louisiana black bear

The New Facism arrives.

What ever happened to going to college to learn? What happened to getting a degree that you could use to provide a living for you and your family? We seem to be leaving that part in the dust.

What have we done/are we doing to our children? Seriously.

They'll be actively reviewing books the students are reading next to stop subversion and ideologies not approved by the university.

When you allow trial lawyers to take over your school shit happens.

As an active Ole Miss student and someone with an actual bone in this conversation, I am glad this was created. This isn't in any way a threat to the First Amendment and is much needed after some recent incidents. Nobody including DART or myself is trying to limit these groups free speech or prohibit them from setting foot on campus if they get their permit. The two most recent incidents were KKK members in their robes supporting the MS flag and a group of Westboro-esque street preachers. Both were allowed to demonstrate and harass students in between the Grove and the Student Union. They yelled at many ladies (including visiting high schoolers and their families) and called them sluts for simply wearing Nike shorts, told students that their dead grandmothers are being sodomized by the devil, and provoked students to hit them so they could sue just like Westboro does. DART is a much needed effort by the University to protect campus safety and any comment about "facism" or students needing "adult diapers" shows your depth of knowledge.

Get a refund @5:34 and a protective bunker, er, safe space away from the real world.

One sensible and intelligent comment on here from 5:34, who is actually a student. The rest of you seem overly concerned with bodily functions. Sorry you have those personal issues.
This is an excellent, proactive program that will prevent peaceful protests from escalating, and keep those inflammatory types of protesters from harassing students and visitors to the campus.

OK 5:34. You described what the groups were doing. How about telling us what DART did in these instances.

Great, now academics are in charge of security; how about this - academics teach classes and the University PD handles situations where folks are being harassed. Harassment is harassment no matter the message, it seems that adding academics to the mix will provide an opportunity for "selective tolerance."

Silly question, how much is this costing, for professors and instructors to not be professing and instructing??? And by the way, if there's harassment occurring, they STILL going to have to call the PD to boot those folks! Sounds like a misappropriation (READ: waste) of resources to me.

There just aint no heppin' this bunch anymore.

I'm a sensible student there also. You know that, right?

5:34, why no mention of the BLM groups?

These wimps need to go to PCU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnennI3C8PM

i just wish we could stop the run.

5:34 pm Thank you for trying to explain to those who don't understand that free speech has always had limits.
They don't know that yelling fire in a theater and inciting to riot are against the law nor do they have the intelligence to understand why those laws exist. They don't think that words are powerful because they lack the words to be persuasive.
The Klan and Westboro types think you persuade others by bullying and insult and terrorizing others. They think fear works just as ISIS does. A person who can do more than memorize comes to understand that you kill an idea with a better idea . Hate groups like the Klan and Westboro and radical Islam jihadist see oppression and death as the way to kill ideas. That never has worked in the long run but they are people without real vision or sense of history.

Activate DART ! There is a man walking in the Grove whistling Dixie!

I think that a review of actions at Ole Miss are going to be found to infringe speech. It's pretty clear that limits, as established in Barrett vs Khayat, and at the 5th, have been exceeded. That case established that 12 x 14 inch flags, yes, actual Rebel flags, were allowed. Content is being regulated, and that's the downfall of their stance. No, not for Rebel flags. For changing the state flag. But the arrest of a kid with a small flag, no stick, within the case law guidelines, coupled with a ton of "no policy" years, and the last years of ever changing goal posts, is going to hurt OM. The kid's arrest was fruit of the poison tree. And you can try to hang a 20 year old for drinking all you want, but he's going to prevail in the long run. The UMPD and UM counsel need to take a long, sober look at these committees and rules.

"Team members walk across campus throughout the day and search for any demonstrations or free speech activities taking place". Wow. Again, the lawyers are going to have a field day. It's Con Law 101, yet, they still can't go back to basic SCOTUS rulings and see the problem. "[T]o the extent [that a] campus has park areas, sidewalks, streets, or other similar common areas,
these areas are public forums, at least for the University’s students, irrespective of whether the University has so designated them or not. " Etc, etc, etc.

"The Klan and Westboro types think you persuade others by bullying and insult and terrorizing others."

7:24; In your little dissertation, you failed to mention other hate groups. For example: Black Lives Matter. The Southern Poverty Law Center. The New Black Panther Party. The NAACP. The Urban League. The Jackson Mayor and City Council.

You also seem to think 'the Klan' is still active and relevant. You might not know that 85% of the time, Westboro never even shows up as threatened. They have largely been de-nutted by the Patriot Guard as if they weren't already irrelevant. The only think that keeps them alive is the fear that they might show up and even THAT fear is totally unfounded.

I'm a student at State. We get these same groups 2 or 3 times a semester. Usually, the campus police just go stand about 30 feet away and monitor the situation and everything is fine. The Westboro guys say some stupid shit, people laugh at them, and everybody goes home. I'm pretty sure getting professors involved in the situation would be a big mistake.

11:24.....you left out the fact that your professors would demand comp-time for this activity outside the classroom. And their claim would be upheld by DOL Wage and Hour.
