Speech Wall resurrected

The Free Speech Wall was housed in the JDUC on Monday and Tuesday.

Queen’s Students for Liberty (QSL) erected another Free Speech Wall on Monday, despite a severe backlash from the AMS and the University that lead to its removal last April.

Annie Orvis, AMS Student Life Centre (SLC) officer, said that SLC staff weren’t aware that QSL intended to erect another wall when they booked the space for Monday and Tuesday, stating rather that they would just be promoting a Students for Liberty conference, scheduled to be held in Toronto on Nov. 16.

“We didn’t know it was going to happen but we were aware of issues that could come from that group,” Orvis, ArtSci ’13, said.

“We did do our due diligence to find out what they were doing, but as they were an AMS-ratified group we would like to give them space in the building.”  (more...)
