We are writing on behalf of students who took action at the Kennedy Political Union’s Dick Cheney event and others on campus who are disgusted and outraged that KPU used student money to bring this individual to AU.

What we cannot accept is providing a platform to those whose political careers are built on positions and policies that undermine the mission and values of this University.
