NKU sets policy on protests

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports:

No longer will campus demonstrations be limited to a small, confined area outside the University Center; parades and marches will be permitted; and chalking will be allowed to continue.

“The act of caging free speech wasn’t just a physical act, but a mental act,” said junior Alex Kindell. “A university is supposed to be where speech is expressed freely.”

Kindell, president of NKU’s Students for Choice, was a leader in getting the policy changed. Under the old policy, students who wanted to protest or rally could do it only in that segregated area next to the University Center.
