A federal appeals court has reinstated a lawsuit filed by a Christian evangelist who is challenging Tennessee Technological University’s policy on outside speakers. The preacher, John McGlone, says the Cookeville, Tenn., institution violated his First Amendment rights when it barred him from speaking on a campus patio unless he sought permission 14 days in advance, and threatened him with arrest if he tried to speak. A lower court had dismissed the suit, saying that the university’s policy was narrowly tailored and content-neutral, and that Mr. McGlone had suffered no injury.
