    Ban SWP from Campus

    Submitted 5 years ago by Daniel Hutchison
    Passed
      0comments
      To ban members of the Socialist Workers Party from campaigning on All UWS Campuses. Such campaigning includes but is not limited to: posters, flyers, and social media channels specifically created for UWS/SAUWS staff or students.

      Why you think it is important

      The SWP have history of diminishing alleged victims of rape but their members. Through questioning accusers drinking habits and asking personal questions, such as about an individuals sexual preferences and habits. Victim shaming should not be endorsed by the university of the student association. This culture should not be encouraged on campus and we should seek to prevent students from being subject to this party.

      Is there anything else you think we should know?
