Iowa State"s Attempt To Violate Its Students First Amendment Rights To Cost State Nearly $400k In Damages

In the early part of 2017, we brought you the story of an Iowa State University student group pushing for marijuana reform in the state that was being targeted by the university for trademark infringement after the group used some school iconography on t-shirts it developed for its cause. Now we have an answer to that question: at least $350,000. The board also approved a $193,000 payment to two law firms that represented the group for their efforts to defend against the university"s unsuccessful appeals, and additional legal fees for their trial work in an amount to be decided by a judge.
