Bring anything you like to sit in. It is going to be a peaceful protest- not protesting the Vice Chanc. himself, because he hasn't done anything. The goal is just to let him know that we are organized and if he doesn't overturn the decisions of the Dean's then he's going to have to deal with the Student Body of UNO.

There is a big effort from the right to wipe out all liberal voices on college campuses. Many of these conservative "think" tanks are leading the way. Suppossedly students who are conservative are being discriminated against. Have you read the Students bill of rights scary. We can not allow this to happen. Republicans want you to believe that if you play by the rules than you can succeed. Well I say don't change the rules in the middle of the game just because someone who isn't a yes man slipped under your radar. We gave up too soon When they targeted faculty from the black studies department. If it is a fight they want it is a fight they will get. This is outrageous but sadly again not surprising.
