Western has "Palestine Day"

Nutty events at Western: These photos were passed on to me by people at the IAC at Western about Monday, which was "Palestine Day" there:
We wanted to be sure that all students who wish to respond and show their discomfort about this harassing display had the proper channels available to them to voice their fears and concerns. Attached to this e-mail is a picture of the display taken late Sunday night after it was erected. If you find this display harassing we strongly encourage you to respond. This e-mail also includes the contact information for University President Dr. Paul Davenport, Equity Service at the university and USC President Nick Staubitz and VP Campus Issues Eric Johanssen. We are also including a sample letter that you might consider before sending your concerns to these parties. Please BCC or forward your letters to us so that we can have a record.

Please also consider discussing this with your parents and suggesting that they contact the university administration regarding their concerns. This is a situation where it is worthwhile to get them involved and have the university understand the gravity of our concerns.

NOTE: VP Campus Issues Eric Johanssen and the USC have shown the utmost of support and concern for students who might be harassed by the display. Eric was reached late Sunday night and was most helpful in helping us to understand how to move this process along. There is no reason to believe that university administration, with whom we have fantastic relations, will show any less concern once contacted.
