Guest Opinion: Religious freedom at UI (Sam Obsorne), 1/22

“The university supports BLinC’s right to hold their homophobic religious opinion in private, but being an officially recognized student organization is not a right but a privilege. Incumbent upon student organizations to retain this privilege is to uphold the university’s non-discrimination clause.” – Joseph Stiefel

“The University of Iowa prohibits discrimination in employment, educational programs, and activities on the basis of race, creed, color, RELIGION, national origin, age, sex, pregnancy, disability, genetic information, status as a U.S. veteran, service in the U.S. military, sexual orientation, gender identity, associational preferences, or any other classification that deprives the person of consideration as an individual. The university also affirms its commitment to providing equal opportunities and equal access to university facilities. Non-discrimination statement pertains to the University’s actions.” – Nick Barnes

Column: Responding to Sexual Assault (Wylliam Smith), 1/17

“Wrote a poem for you:

“Follow the law unheard survivors!”

No one cares if you can’t
get mental healthcare
in Iowa. No one cares
about your sense of justice.

Deal with it!
Most important of all:
Stay civil! Don’t get too rowdy!
Painting bricks — bad!

Having no one listen
while suffering greatly
without healthcare, a civil
platform or justice — good!

Rationalize your suffering!
Don’t fight fire with fire.
But look at how I fire back!
Look at how I vandalize!” – Brad Pector
