Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System v. Southworth — Souter, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Souter concurs in the judgment, agreeing that the student activity fee scheme is permissible but disagreeing with the majority's imposition of a strict viewpoint neutrality requirement. He argues the fee does not violate the First Amendment because it funds general discourse without compelling expression or requiring direct association with objectionable messages. Souter emphasizes academic freedom and the attenuated connection between students and funded organizations.
