University of Calgary pro-life students found…

May 10, 2010 by Andrea Mrozek 3 Comments

GUILTY.

The University of Calgary has notified eight members of the Campus Pro-Life (CPL) student group that they have been found guilty of a major violation under the Non-Academic Misconduct Policy regarding a pro-life display held last month. The verdict comes one week after the students each attended individual, closed-door hearings with an Associate Vice-Provost during which legal representatives were disallowed.

The verdict is “a formal written warning” that if the students “fail to comply with directives of Campus Security staff in the future” it will “result in more severe sanctions,” said Acting Associate Vice-Provost Meghan Houghton, who was the sole decision-maker in the guilty verdict.

“We are going to challenge this verdict,” stated Alanna Campbell, CPL President. “We did not break a single University bylaw or regulation and so we will defend ourselves accordingly. We will also not cease exercising our rights to free speech just because they’re threatening us. I’d rather be expelled as a principled person than graduate a coward.”

That’s my kind of girl! Wish I had that kind of courage back in school.

    Yes, these kids have the courage of their convictions. I am hoping that Ezra Levant weighs in on the injustice shown by his alma mater.

    Does anyone know if they have started a petition? I’d love to show my support for them, even if it’s just an online signature.

    HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!! Ezra Levant and pro-life…..HA HA HA HA!!!!! This world is not black and white ladies. Maybe you should speak to one of the students in my class who lived through the Rwandan genocide and see how she feels about her surprise of seeing these photos on our campus.
