YA JUST MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO THAT: “Student requests U Chicago investigate campus organization’s ties to the CCP.”
One University of Chicago student is calling on the university to investigate their chapter of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association and its possible connection to the Chinese Communist Party. . . .
In May, when pro-Hong Kong activist Nathan Law spoke at an event hosted by the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy, the CSSA attempted to pressure the university into disinviting him.
The CSSA sent an email addressed to the Harris School of Public Policy, arguing that Law’s speech “falls outside the purviews of free speech,” the Chicago Maroon reported in June.
“As a non-political, cultural association, CSSA greatly values and adamantly defends freedom of speech and expression on our campus. However, the invitation of Law as a distinguished guest by the Mentor Program not only falls outside the purviews of free speech, but also has been widely perceived as exposing the insensitivities and disrespect that the Harris administration shows towards Chinese students and scholars,” the email states.
