S.0785

South Carolina S0785 establishes a speech code for public college and university employees, allowing immediate termination for certain communications.

South Carolina S0785, known as the "Remembering Charlie Kirk Act," mandates the Commission on Higher Education to create a speech code for public college and university employees. This code, which must be adopted and enforced by the governing boards of these institutions, outlines conditions under which an employee may be terminated for their speech or expression. The act specifies that termination is permissible if the speech interferes with the institution's operations, undermines its mission, or conflicts with the employee's responsibilities.
