DePaul: The Nightmare That Keeps on Recurring

Today, the announced that DePaul University won second 鈥減rize鈥 in its Campus Outrage Awards, commonly known as the Pollys. Here鈥檚 how the CN :

DePaul University has essentially declared war on free speech on campus. First, the university suspended鈥攚ithout a hearing鈥攁 veteran adjunct professor for daring to debate students handing out pro-Palestinian literature on campus. Next, the administration branded as 鈥減ropaganda鈥 a College Republican protest of a Ward Churchill speech on campus. Finally, college officials shut down an affirmative action bake-sale sponsored by the campus conservative club and charged the club member who organized the event with harassment. Apparently, free speech is allowed at DePaul only as long as it accords with the political views of the university administration.

Yep, that鈥檚 a pretty good summary! And as with the 鈥渇irst place鈥 Polly last year (Le Moyne College鈥檚 persecution of student Scott McConnell), it was FIREthat brought DePaul鈥檚 misdeeds to public attention鈥攆rom the fired professor (Thomas Klocek), to the banned CR flyers, to the silenced 鈥渁ffirmative action bake sale鈥鈥攁nd we are grateful to the CN for shedding even more light on DePaul鈥檚 stunning actions.
