ASMSU has created a record for itself by punishing individuals or groups that do not agree with it. Whether it be firing individuals or removing organizations, ASMSU has made it clear that dissenting opinions will not be tolerated.

According to the article "ASMSU debates degree" (SN 3/1), by Joey Nowak, ASMSU wants to revoke a degree given to Robert Mugabe because Mr. Mugabe does not encourage free speech. Until ASMSU can respect the differing opinions of others and reinstate organizations that promote debate, they have absolutely no business deciding matters that concern free speech.
