Subject: [LakesideStudents] Forum on Civility and Tolerance
To: Student -post <Stu-Post@luc.edu>
I am writing today to address the behavior exhibited Thursday evening in
the Mundelein Center Auditorium. Miss Ann Coulter was invited to our
campus to speak. While many disagree with her opinions, the University
supports the right of legitimate campus organizations to invite
speakers, even those who may be considered controversial. As a Jesuit
and Catholic University, we are a community of knowledge and learning,
open to the free exchange of ideas. Unfortunately, many in the audience
chose to behave in a manner that did not allow for that exchange of
ideas but were uncivil and rude. The lack of civility and the level of
intolerance displayed are a matter of serious concern for the entire
University community.
In an effort to address this matter the University will hold a Forum on
Civility and Tolerance on Monday March 27th from 4-5 pm in the CFSU
lobby. I invite you to come and share your thoughts on how we as a
community can move forward in creating a campus community that is
diverse, tolerant and open to the civil discourse of ideas and beliefs.
Richard P. Salmi, S.J.
Vice President for Student Affairs
