The Clock is Ticking for Western Michigan University
As my colleague Catherine Sevcenko informed Torch readers last week, Western Michigan University (WMU) shirked its legal and moral duties to its students by making its free speech policies nearly impossible to find. Those same policies are the ones WMU agreed to change and enact after student group Kalamazoo Peace Center (KPC) sued WMU for attempting to keep rapper and activist Boots Riley off campus. WMU simply claims that they鈥檝e enacted the policies without notifying students in any way. WMU students deserve better.
To ensure that WMU knows that its unacceptable behavior has not gone unnoticed, we鈥檝e that counts (to the second!) how long it鈥檚 been since WMU started playing games and, in the process, sacrificing its students鈥 speech rights.
We鈥檙e well aware of how important good press is to WMU, so we鈥檒l be happy to take down once WMU鈥檚 policies on free speech are easily accessible to students. Your move, WMU.
