Women's Resource Center clarifies probation status
ND Women's Resource Center


   We would like to clarify a few issues raised in the Oct. 3 In Focus article about the Women's Resource Center. ("Women's Resource Center still feels probation's sting") Yes, the WRC was on probation for an incident which occurred several years ago. However, the WRC is not currently on probation; in fact, it has not been since early summer following the 1998-1999 school year. With the support of the Faculty Senate the probation was lifted a year early, and the WRC stands in full compliance with University regulations. The probation does continue to affect the WRC in various ways, one of which is the issue of censorship was discussed in the article. Out of respect for the decision made by the University is 1997, however, the WRC abstains from comment on these issues pertaining to freedom of speech. Anyone interested in the full story of the 1997 probation hearing is welcome to come to the Center to read an official incident summary for further clarifications.
