I came back to give Mrs. Anderson the benefit of the doubt but I noticed the second typo in the first article and it's just like... isn't that your one job? First - "Is" should be capitalized: "express themselves on campus. is it threats from" Second: "Acamfemic" Third incorrectly worded sentence: "The very name of the Act it[self] suggests that those on campus have complete freedom of speech without limitation." Fourth: "The[ir] purpose is to expose students to the breadth of views and ideas that exist in their particular discipline and ideally challenge their worldview – allowing them to argue back" And if I really wanted to nit pick there's a hand full of other issues (incorrect oxford comma, incorrectly pluralized words, missing hyphen). It's sloppy.
