Free speech controversy

In 2014, after Francis Schmidt, a tenured professor, filed a grievance over denial of sabbatical leave,[9] The college suspended him for eight days and required him to consult a psychiatrist before returning to campus,[10] claiming that a photo he posted to social media of his seven-year-old-daughter wearing a t-shirt quoting Game of Thrones character Daenerys Targaryen could be construed as a threat of violence against college officials.[11] The college faculty cited the incident as a factor in a vote of "no confidence" in college president Kaye Walter.[12] The suspension was rescinded, with Schmidt receiving back pay for the suspension period,[10] and a college spokesman acknowledged to Schmidt that "By sanctioning you as it did, BCC may have unintentionally erred and potentially violated your constitutional rights, including under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution".[10] The Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression conferred one of its annual Jefferson Muzzle Awards for "the past year's most outrageous and ridiculous affronts to free speech and press" on the college administration, declaring that it had "demonstrat[ed] its collective cluelessness on two distinct levels".[13]
