Case Overview

On April 14, 2025, a UC Irvine administrator sent student Amelia Roskin-Frazee a notice that her apartment doormat, which reads “No Warrant, No Entry,” was in violation of the school’s prohibition on doormats with words or images. The administrator had previously told Roskin-Frazee that university housing policies are enforced depending on the content of the expression — a holiday display with snowflakes was allowed to stay up while a political display would be taken down. ֱ wrote UC Irvine on April 21 explaining that the First Amendment forbids the university from enforcing its policies on a content-discriminatory basis and punishing Roskin-Frazee for her expressive doormat. After the university moved forward with its disciplinary process against Roskin-Frazee and other students with expressive doormats, ֱ wrote the university again on May 14 arguing that it cannot enforce content-discriminatory policies to punish students.
