Students should help decide rights and freedoms
When students’ rights are be
ing debated shouldn’t students
be involved?
Some faculty members don’t

staff was not allowed into the
meeting. Academic freedom is
something that concerns us all,
instructors, students and coun
selors alike. The discussion
originally began as an open fo
rum and ended in only having
few faculty allowed.
Where is my freedom?
Freedom of speech, freedom of
press and my freedoms as a stu

of the faculty.
What was the faculty trying to
hide? What didn’t they want us
to know?
I’m asking students to unite
against unfair treatment. We
have every right to be a part of
these important decisions, that
affect us.
I want to be apart of the pro
nouncements on my rights and
freedoms. Do you?
