University Community,
The University respects students’ and employees' right to gather and express their opinions, and, as you may know, a group of students gathered in front of All Saints’ Chapel for that purpose this morning.
At present, today’s demonstration has not disrupted the normal operation of the University. No University facilities have been damaged.
However, as the demonstration goes on, the University will continue to monitor the gathering and assess the situation for any activities that might jeopardize student safety or interrupt the normal University activities.
Earlier this afternoon Vice-Chancellor Pearigen had a conversation with the group and listened to their concerns.
During his time with students, the Vice-Chancellor reiterated that Sewanee is a place where multiple viewpoints can be expressed and that he hopes we can live together by the University motto of Ecce Quam Bonum.
