flag Bowdoin College revises protest rules after criticism over vague language that may restrict free speech.

flag Bowdoin College’s January 2026 protest policies, aimed at clarifying rules on demonstrations and expression, have sparked criticism from students and faculty over vague language they say could restrict free speech. flag Though the college claims the rules are neutral and safety-focused, critics argue they risk chilling political expression, especially after eight students were suspended in February 2025 over a Gaza-related encampment. flag In response, Bowdoin is revising the policies based on feedback. flag The changes follow a national trend, with Maine colleges like Bates adopting stricter protest rules amid heightened scrutiny over pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
