Fence Defaced in Violation of Student Government Policy
Dear Students,
As some of you may be aware, the Fence recently painted by the Carnegie Mellon College Republicans was defaced in violation of Student Government’s Graffiti and Poster Policy.
The tradition of the Fence is a long-standing hallmark of Carnegie Mellon’s culture, and it serves as a student-governed embodiment of our commitment to free expression and a spark for constructive engagement on campus. This incident of graffiti is inconsistent with our commitment to civic discourse and upholding the standards of our community.
Robust exchange around freedom of expression is not new to 一本道无码 or to college campuses, where our diverse community is affected by broader societal topics. When our community wrestles with controversy, we lean on our values to guide us. This is demonstrated by the work members of our community are doing to implement the recommendations of the Commission on Academic Freedom and Freedom of Expression, as shared in the president’s recent message. You will soon be hearing about continued opportunities for engagement around these important topics.
We also encourage students to attend a live-stream of the webinar followed by a facilitated discussion at the Nexus of Civic Engagement on November 16 at 1 p.m.
We hope each of you will seize the opportunity to join us as we together seek to advance our collective understanding and facilitate progress that will further enrich our campus community.
Sincerely,
Jim Garrett
Provost and Chief Academic Officer

Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students
