Students should help decide rights and freedoms
When students’ rights are be­

be involved?

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
dent obviously are no concern
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?
