Petition to End Common Area Speakers at Southeastern Louisiana University


Petition to End Common Area Speakers at Southeastern Louisiana University
The Issue
Every Thursday there is a group of people that meet outside the Student Union at Southeastern University. Some of the people within this group are not students of the University and harass those around them. They yell their beliefs at students and even try to provoke them with prejudiced questions. At one point, they have held signs degrading the female sex. There have been several testimonies of students feeling unsafe from this group and have felt scared to go to the Student Union in fear they will be harassed. Though there is the factor of freedom of speech, no student should feel scared on campus, especially from a group not affiliated with the university. The purpose of this petition is to make the university aware of the issue and try to eliminate this group or reduce it to be more peaceful in respect for others on campus.
