Students sue University of Alabama over suspending two student magazines, citing viewpoint discrimination and First Amendment violations.
Students at the University of Alabama have filed a federal lawsuit claiming the university violated their First Amendment rights by suspending and defunding two student magazines—Nineteen Fifty-Six, focused on Black students, and Alice, focused on women’s issues—in December 2025.
The students argue the decision was based on viewpoint discrimination, citing federal guidance on diversity programs and the magazines’ targeted audiences.
The publications, active for five and ten years respectively, covered topics like race, gender, and campus life without membership restrictions.
Represented by civil rights groups, the plaintiffs seek to restore funding and reinstate the magazines, while the university has declined to comment, stating it remains committed to student expression and legal compliance.
