End University of Ulster Political Protocol
Sign Now
Уgra Shinn Fйin writes this public petition to the University of Ulster and the University of Ulster Students Union, in condemnation and protest at your 'political protocol' which censors politics in the University of Ulster.
Universities are supposedly a beacon of enlightenment, promoting diversity, tolerance and debate; however your decision to censor diverse political opinion contradicts this.
As a University which delivers courses on politics, supposedly encouraging students to form a better understanding and engage in the world of politics; however this protocol infact censors politics, presenting politics as divisive and unappealing.
A University should be promoting engagement with politics aimed at tackling youth apathy towards voting and politics and a Students Union should be encouraging youth empowerment, promoting students to get involved in decision making.
The protocol contradicts and denies all of this and diminishes the status of the University.
The last line of the Universitys Mission Statement states that you will strive to,
Nurture the values of inclusive citizenship and respect diversity.
The protocol flies in the face of this and goes against your mission statement, you cannot nurture inclusive citizenship by exclusion, and you cannot respect diversity by censorship.
Уgra Shinn Fйin and the SDLP Youth have campaigned on this issue and we welcome other political parties, student societies, the general student body and the wider public to support the campaign for freedom of speech and political expression.
We ask that you sign the petition calling for the ending of the University of Ulsters Political Protocol.
