A libel suit against UIUC and its board of trustees, which includes the governor of Illinois, and Tim Skirvin is should be successful since they do not have a valid defense according to the provision of the state constitution excerpted below: CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS [...] Section 4. FREEDOM OF SPEECH All persons may speak, write and publish freely, being responsible for the abuse of that liberty. In trials for libel, both civil and criminal, the truth, when published with good motives and for justifiable ends, shall be a sufficient defense. [...End of excerpt...] The above section renders UIUC and proposed co-defendants responsible and liable for the obvious abuse, and libel for the untruths they continue to publish. It is also evident that their intent is malicious.
