Op-Ed: AU Should Ban Protesting in Academic Buildings
On Nov. 24, 2014, a grand jury voted not to indict Ferguson, Missouri, Caucasian police officer Darren Wilson for the murder of African-American Michael Brown. Shortly after the verdict, protests erupted around the country. I happened to see protests everywhere, but there was one that really infuriated me, and it was here at AU. Last year, on the first day of classes after the verdict, I was watching a movie with my third-world literature class, and we weren’t able to focus, due to the fact that students were running down the hallway throughout the entire period, shouting, “No Justice, No Peace.”
