Frostburg State University, Frostburg, MD

FIRE’s report notes that the university sought to muzzle a student journalist for reporting critically on the university’s handling of the pandemic. In an email from the University or resident assistants, it threatened them “[i]n the real world, if you bad mouth your employer you could lose your job,” seemingly unaware that as a public university, it could not censor free speech.

“Not satisfied with just silencing RAs, a week later, when The Baltimore Sun cited student reporter Cassie Conklin’s critical reporting on the university’s pandemic response, FSU cooked up a bogus claim against her. Despite video evidence to the contrary, FSU accused Conklin of harassment. The university also demanded The Bottom Line investigate Conklin and report its findings to administrators — a clear violation of the publication’s editorial independence,” writes the report.
