The Students for Law, Justice & Culture, with support from the Center for Law, Justice & Culture and the LGBT Center, is hosting a community discussion, The Muslim Ban, Bobcat 70, and Campus Protest: One Year Later on Thursday, Feb. 1, from 6-8 p.m. in Schoonover 145.
The Feb. 1, 2017, demonstration that resulted in the arrests of 70 students and community members in Baker Center.
The event will address how the community has grappled with these events over the past year and look at how the Ohio University community can address these questions in the future as a community. It will feature four presenters who were involved in the movement for a sanctuary campus, the Feb 1 demonstration, and the following legal defense.
Students for Law Justice and Culture is a student organization in the Center for Law, Justice & Culture that focuses on issues related to law, politics, and society. They are led by President and Vice President, Jessica Roth and Francisco Cintron, and have been working to create discussion around the impacts of the Travel Ban, the Bobcat 70 arrests, and the Freedom of Speech Interim Policy on our campus.
The Students for Law, Justice & Culture is also curating an Anniversary Exhibition on Feb. 27 through March 1 in the Trisolini Gallery (Baker 4th Floor). They are still accepting submissions from students, faculty, staff, and community members who were affected in any way by the Travel Ban, the arrests of Bobcat 70, and the interim “freedom of speech” policies. Submissions can be in the form of: papers, photos, documents, art, multimedia projects, performances, testimonies, poetry, and artifacts (banners, signs) from the demonstration.
