The History Department at Whotssamatta U

question 5

True/False

The History Department at Whotssamatta U. has a bulletin board outside its offices used to post announcements of interest to students. The department has allowed students to post their own announcements on the board on a space-available basis. History major Renée Sonce wants to post an announcement about an upcoming beer blast party. The History Department chair is a recovering alcoholic and denies Sonce permission to post the beer party notice, despite the fact that there is space on the bulletin board. The administrator's action is justified in this restriction because the university has the right to regulate what is placed on the department bulletin board.
