"A major development in the ongoing case surrounding a pro-Palestine student protest at Arizona State University has sent shockwaves through the academic and free speech communities. In a Thursday opinion, Judge John Tuchi of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona quashed subpoenas issued to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a move that could have significant implications for the First Amendment rights of students and faculty. The ADL was among several organizations subpoenaed as part of an investigation into the protest, which was sparked by a speech by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren. The ruling is a victory for advocates of free speech and could set a precedent for similar cases nationwide."
