'We would like to note that this is not the type of discourse the College Republicans seek to promote on campus,' Minnesota College Republicans tweeted.
Last Thursday, the Minnesota College Republicans, the broader activist body, attempted to distance itself from the Morris posters, tweeting:"We are aware of the posters put up by UMMCRs. State CRs had no knowledge of or involvement with these posters. Further, we would like to note that this is not the type of discourse the College Republicans seek to promote on campus."
University chancellor Michelle Behr wrote in a message sent to students on October 10 that a new group was currently"working on a campus climate evaluation and plan.":"I have heard your concerns regarding language and images being used on our campus that inflame and divide. The University of Minnesota Morris does not condone messaging that is meant to be divisive. That messaging does not support the welcoming community we seek to be.
University of Minnesota-Morris President Joan Gabel framed the ongoing issues as a balance of free speech, but did not confirm if the posters would be removed from the walls of the liberal arts college."Protecting free speech has never been easy," GabelShe added:"I have deep empathy for those who are negatively impacted by the speech or actions of others. I want to assure you that I take issues of safety and belonging very seriously.
Truckenmiller accused the faculty of failing to address the problem."Silence makes you part of the problem,"."It's an insult to students on campus to have our concerns ignored to protect a small group of harassers.
