Administration abusing power with suspensions
Web update 4/29
Any notion that the University of Montana administration respected student protesters was unceremoniously quashed Tuesday.
One by one, eight members of Students for Economic and Social Justice entered the office of the Dean of Students, and individually they came out, slapped with three-day suspensions from the University, and were required to write letters of apology to President George Dennison and his office staff.
The eight students were part of a sit-in of Dennison’s office April 16, when he was visiting China. The group’s aim was to persuade UM officials to sign on with the Designated Suppliers Program, which would regulate which companies could sell clothing to universities.
