Introduction
Freedom of speech is a luxury afforded to every American citizen, however oftentimes that particular freedom may come with a cost. Both Roth and Sinderman were professors at institutions of higher education who spoke out in regards to their dissatisfaction with their institutions and in return, their contracts were not renewed for their positions. Their former places of employment did not directly link the actions of their employees to the termination; however, both Roth and Sinderman believed that speaking out led to the cause of their termination.
Both of these cases introduced a clearer definition on what it means to be a tenured and non-tenured employee as it relates to the 14th Amendment. The term tenured can vary by the place of employment. Oftentimes it represents individuals who have been employed at the institution for a number of years. One of the privileges of being tenured is that it allows the employee certain liberties. According to Cameron (2010), “tenure is the basic concept that …show more content…

Roth and Perry v. Sinderman case set the president for defining what the 14th Amendment meant to untenured employees. According to the National Education Association, tenure is simply defined as “a right to due process” (www.nea.org). The case of the Board of Regents v. Roth provided background information for the Perry v. Sinderman case. In the Roth case, he was employed with the college for a year. His contract was not renewed the following year and he believed that it was in relation to his comments made about the college and the board of regents. Roth believed that he did not receive due process in regards to his termination and in addition, he believed that his 1st and 14th Amendment rights were violated. It was ruled that the university did not violate any rights by deciding to not rehire Roth, however they courts ruled that Roth was owed an explanation by the university. (Board of Regents v. Roth, 408 U.S. 564

Furthermore, it is the HR professionals duty to make sure the management team is fully aware on how to conduct business within the guidelines because in some cases knowingly or unknowingly laws can be broken and grave consequences will follow in suit. When we tie in the case of St. Mary's Honor Center v. Hicks legal risk management comes into play. I support the ideal that some risk management cannot be avoided by leadership and some risk taking may play a crucial role in the continuance of an organization. Although there are certain lines you should not cross and being able to cover your tracks are very important. In this case referenced, St. Mary's gave evidence as to how they made adverse employment decisions, but in the manner of doing so raised some red flags that enabled Hicks to have the opportunity for the case to eventually be heard in Supreme Court.

The 1990 case of Employment Division v. Smith is about Smith and Black who were both members of a Native American Church and counselors at a private drug rehabilitation clinic. They were both fired because they had taken peyote as a part of their religious ceremonies, at that time the possession of peyote was a crime under the State law. The counselors filed for unemployment in the state, but were denied by the Employment Division because the reason for their unemployment was work-related misconduct. Smith and Black argued, stating that under the First Amendment the government is forbidden from prohibiting the "free exercise" of religion in this case the free exercise of peyote. Court of Appeals reversed the ruling, saying that denying them unemployment benefits for their religious use of peyote violated their right to as it was a part of their religion.

The two Supreme Court cases Korematsu v. United States 1944 and Schenck v. United States 1919 are similar in how they deal with people who stood up for their rights and dealt with Constitutional Amendments but differ in their time periods and the amendments they deal with. Both of the cases took place during times of war, Schenck during World War I and Korematsu during World War II. Charles Schenck did not believe in the Conscription Act so he urged people to protest it through words and papers and when he was brought to court the main case issue was if his actions were protected by the First Amendment. Much like Schenck, Fred Korematsu did not agree with the Japanese Exclusion Act and refused to be removed from his home. When he was brought

In the movie “God’s not Dead”, a professor was being unfair and threatened a student named Josh Wheaton that if he believed in God he will fail his class. Josh stood strong and defended his right to believe in what he wants, in which he speaks in front of the class and tells the professor, “The only difference between my position and yours is that you take away their option to believe”. Not only did Josh stand up for himself but for the entire class. He believed that it was wrong for the professor to limit the students from their beliefs as well taking away their right to express their religion. In the articles, “Professor Watchlist Is Share as Threat to Academic Freedom” by Christopher Mele and “I Am a Dangerous Professor”, share the same idea on how some professors or teachers limit the opinion for students, take away the right of their freedom of speech and some cases discriminate.

Rational: Average employee tenure is in close relationship with employee satisfaction and turnover rate indicators.

The Second Amendment was intended for the maintenance of state militias, not the right of individuals. Michael Waldman, the President of the New York University School of Law, said that when the amendment was in progress, the US Supreme Court declined to rule for the individual right four times between 1876 and 1939. Waldman overall indicated that individual rights were not what was referred to in the Second Amendment for an extended period. According to Jeffrey Toobin, a news editor for a famous New York magazine company, the re-interpretation of the Second Amendment was an “elaborately executed political operation,” in the government. This medium that although they amend the amendment every once in awhile, the intent will always remain the same.

There is power to be an activist during your tenure at university, this can be done by joining a group or committee that takes part in deciding whether or not a speaker should be no platformed or given one.

The idea of free speech on college campuses and the complications of it stem from those on campuses expressing views that don’t align with popular views. Implications for students who use the idea of free speech as a method for hateful actions and comments should be reprimanded, but the question remains as to whether schools should enforce tougher limitations. The freedom of speech on college campus expands to the freedoms of religion, assembly, press, and protest as well. Freedom of expression allows students to show their own political, social, and cultural views. Removing freedoms of speech and expression have consequences deeper than surface issues.
