First Amdt. group joins national coalition

The Task Force, which Schorr founded in September to protect First Amendment rights on campus, is made up of approximately 30 students. The Task Force is the fourth collegiate chapter to join the National Coalition, following the University of Florida, Indiana University and the University of Texas chapters. According to David Gentry, president and co-founder of the National Coalition, the group will target the rest of the Ivy League for future expansion. "We believe if we can mobilize the Ivy League then that will speak volumes to the rest of the nation," he said. The National Coalition is a non-partisan organization comprised of professors, students and college graduates who work to defend First Amendment rights on college campuses. –Melissa Geschwind
