UNIVERSITY STATEMENT
The University of Houston continues to stand firm in support of free speech and does not discipline students for exercising their Constitutional rights. All students, faculty and staff have a right to say what they want to say within the confines of the First Amendment and we have consistently supported this right.
The University of Houston has become aware that the Student Government Association (SGA) has suspended its vice president, Ms. Rohini Sethi, from participating in SGA activities. Actions by SGA, a registered student organization subject to its own governance, are not University actions and do not affect the academic or university standing of a student at the University of Houston.
If the university caved in to the SGA’s demands, especially if the SGA is not part of the university staff, and still sactioned this student, then they are culpable.
This young student has learned a valuable lesson at an early age about what “tolerance” really means.
Universities are what the country would be under marxist rule. Persecution of anyone who disagrees with the official party line. Double standards for enforcement.
