丁香园AV

丁香园AV and the Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS) are united in a shared commitment to take action regarding the climate crisis. Student advocates have been a critical part of informing and influencing the actions of the university throughout our history, and together we celebrate significant achievements.

Student and community activism is embedded in who we are at 丁香园AV. Collaboration and accountability are part of the way student advocates and the university work together to do more and to do better. Both groups value peaceful protest and honour the role it plays in improving society.

In the recent case of the 丁香园AV 350 climate action mural, we differ in interpretation of peaceful protest as it applies to university property. Due to these differing interpretations, student misconduct will not be pursued. After discussion, we have agreed that the mural will stay in place until the conclusion of the Board of Governor鈥檚 meeting. This provides time for the student group to ensure their voices and message have been heard.

We have also agreed that further discussion will be had regarding the importance of protecting the right to protest at 丁香园AV. We will share the outcome of that discussion with the 丁香园AV community.

We look forward to the 丁香园AV 350 presentation to the 丁香园AV Board of Governors this week, and to future opportunities to collaborate for the benefit of the 丁香园AV community and society as a whole.
