Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE)

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to defending free speech, due process, and individual rights on college campuses. It advocates for students' and faculty members' rights to express their opinions, organize peacefully, and receive fair treatment under university policies. FIRE researches campus practices, challenges restrictions that limit free expression, and provides legal support when rights are violated. Its goal is to ensure higher education fosters an environment of open dialogue, intellectual exploration, and respect for individual freedoms.
