Your Turn: Board should expect national backlash
Jan. 20, 2009In regards to Ms. Beardsley's letter, I say we should encourage the Board of Trustees to accept their preposterous proposal. As they have no legal authority whatsoever to enforce such a policy, the student trustees can and should thumb their noses at it and speak out openly. They should tell the board to please pass this policy because when you do, we will make sure it is national news how the Board of Trustees is attempting to suppress any and all dissent about their activities. How does the board think they will look to the national press and how will they respond when some reporter from NBC or CNN or FOX News asks them what they think they are doing. How will they respond when the ACLU says they are going to sue over such blatant abuse of power? So go to it, Board. If you really want to destroy the reputation of Ohio University, go ahead and be our guest. Pass this ridiculous and blatantly offensive policy.
