Public comment sought on planning groups work program

BATTLE CREEK (AP) — A Michigan college says it has reached an agreement to resolve a lawsuit filed by people arrested while distributing copies of the U.S. Constitution outside a campus building.

Kellogg Community College in Battle Creek says Tuesday that it has agreed to a financial settlement. Monetary figures were not released.

The plaintiffs said they were arrested in 2016 while talking to students. The prosecutor dropped the case.

Their lawsuit accused the school of violating free speech rights and other protections. A group called Young Americans for Liberty also was a plaintiff.

The school says they were arrested for trespassing and attempting to recruit students for Young Americans for Liberty.
