This is not bad…I guess:
“After Protest, Prison Company Won't Sponsor Florida
Atlantic Stadium”
“Following more than a month of
resounding protest from students, faculty and staff, the sponsor and planned
namesake for Florida Atlantic University’s new football stadium has withdrawn,
FAU announced Tuesday, leaving the university to find
a replacement for the private prison company GEO Group (the GEO Group
Foundation was the official donor) and the $6 million its founder had pledged
toward the project. Protesters had criticized the management and inmate and
employee treatment at prisons run by GEO, whose chairman is a Florida Atlantic
graduate and former trustee”.
Sorry it came to this, however, getting in bed
with a private prison is probably not best for an educational institution.
This title sounds reasonable and
they are exercising their right to free speech: “Towson Students March to Show
Unity”
“The White Student Union, an
unofficial, small group at Towson University, has been capturing headlines
recently with claims (untrue, the university says) of a surge in crime against
white students. In response, about 200 students marched through the campus
Tuesday in an event designed to show that the views of the White Student Union
do not represent the student body or the university, The Baltimore Sun
reported”.
However, what are they truly
protesting and what is the true purpose of the march?
I know there is some really good
news out there, so please share it!
