In October 2009, FIRE began working with James Madison University students Kelly Jemison, John Scott, and Luke Wachob to reform the school's restrictive speech codes. In this interview, Wachob explains how over the course of two years he worked with his peers to transform JMU from a "red light" to a "green light" school for free expression.
