[color="transparent"]ATLANTA - In light of recent protests on college campuses nationwide over Gaza, Chase Oliver vehemently opposes any attempts to suppress free speech and peaceful assembly.[/color]
[color="transparent"]While acknowledging the sensitivity and complexity surrounding the Gaza issue, universities must uphold their role as hubs of open dialogue and intellectual discourse. Suppressing voices, regardless of their stance on a particular issue, erodes the very essence of higher education and the principles of free expression it champions.[/color]
[color="transparent"]The right to peaceful protest and discussions on contentious topics lies at the core of democracy. Progress, understanding, and solutions stem from the free exchange of ideas. Any efforts to silence dissent curtail individual expression while hindering the collective pursuit of knowledge and comprehension.[/color]
