MRZine: Does Pace U support free speech?
n Monday, March 13, students from the Campus Antiwar Network (CAN) and the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) — joined by other students, professors, original SDSers, and CAN members from CCNY — launched one of the largest demonstrations Pace University’s campus had seen, against Pace’s denial of our free speech rights. The university, not accustomed to being challenged, let alone having to deal with large protests, was not prepared for it.
While Pace University President David Caputo was giving his “State of the University” address, an annual ritual of self-congratulation, we exposed the Real State of the University: infringement of civil liberties; union-busting of the adjunct professors’, cafeteria workers’, and transportation workers’ unions; and a university deficit of $3.2 million. All this is happening while Pace is “celebrating” its 100th anniversary.
