Faculty express concerns over demonstration policy julianna.abuzzahab@marquette.edu megan.woolard@marquette.edu
Following the removal of students from their leadership positions, faculty and Marquette University Student Government are looking for ways to move forward. MUSG is still undecided on how to approach those vacancies, while faculty and administration clashed over whether or not the demonstration policy promotes free speech on campus at yesterday’s University Academic Senate meeting. “The faculty council discussed faculty concerns regarding the student conduct process, in particular the role of restorative justice, both in reviewing and thinking about the … Ways in which we can support students and how we might create an inclusive campus,” Amber Wichowsky, professor of political science, said in the academic senate
meeting. Despite disapproval from some members of the Marquette community, Provost Kimo Ah Yun cited the walk in support of the students sanctioned Sept. 10 as an example of how Marquette is encouraging of free speech. “I will say the university continues to remain committed to free speech,” Ah Yun said at the academic senate meeting. As Ah Yun was finishing his statement an audience member audibly laughed and called him a liar. There was further discussion about how the current demonstration policy requires students to get permission from the Dean of Students, Stephanie Quade, to demonstrate, is not actually promoting free speech on campus.

Marquette students reflect on campus car theft, parking theodore.dysart@marquette.edu
Ally Pavlich, a first-year in the College of Health Sciences, had planned on having a normal Monday night. After driving back from McDonald’s, she parked her 2017 Hyundai Elantra on the 900 block of 19th Street. After showering, about 30 minutes later she went back outside with plans to drive to Straz Hall to visit a friend. That’s when she realized her car was nowhere to be found. “I just remember thinking to myself, ‘I swear I parked my car here,’” Pavlich said. Pavlich thought she might have been seeing things. After all, it has been nearly half a semester since she had started college. Midterms, homework and making sure she was eating enough were consuming most of her mind these days.

Republican Senator Ron Johnson and Democratic Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes held their last debate before the Senate election Thursday, Oct. 13 at Marquette University’s Varsity Theater. Prior to the debate, people were outside the theater hold-

ing a demonstration advocating for Barnes where a band played, pins were given out and people were dancing in the street. Calena Roberts, one of the demonstrators, said she decided to back Barnes’ campaign because she said she is tired of Ron Johnson’s “foolishness.” Roberts said she was also unhappy about the way Ron Johnson handled the Jan. 6 insurrection when he described those who participated as “tourists.” “Had it been Black Lives Matter, he would have been concerned. That’s offensive.

hurt my feelings because had it been any type of protest where a bunch of Black people [were] scaling the walls and tearing down the building, you know, just invading the building, the national guard — everybody would’ve been out on us, and we know that,” Roberts said. Among other topics such as the Jan 6th insurrection, the debate was a consistent pingpong battle of insults, postering and fingers pointed at the opposition.
