For scores of college students across the nation, the next few weeks of spring will constitute a countdown to summer recess. Between preparing for finals and cleaning out dorm rooms, one would think that the nations collegiate youth would be limited in the amount of free time on their hands. One would be wrong.
As a number of college students prepare to sit down and take a written examination on the history and meaning of the First Amendment, students at the University of Rhode Island (URI) are learning firsthand about censorship and government disregard for civil liberties. On Wednesday, under a great deal of pressure from URI administrators, civil rights activists and the Constitution, the URI Student Senate voted to defeat a measure that would have derecognized the URI chapter of the College Republicans.
I am thrilled that the URI Student Senate finally reached a reasonable and lawful resolution, stated Ryan Bilodeau, president of the College Republicans. As an organization, we are pleased to be able to continue to be a voice that challenges the status quo on campus.
