Cost of Free Speech at Concordia

Barriers to FTAA protest participation still exist at Concordia. Students are planning a protest for Tuesday March 20 at 3pm.

The cost of "free" speech?

At Concordia it is $15-75 ($15 per exam deferral).

Concordia's Senate made the news recently by declaring an "academic amnesty" for students wishing to exercise their freedom of speech in Quebec City this coming April.

But freedom of speech will only apply to those who can afford it. $15 per exam deferral will be charged to those students whose exams conflict with the Summit schedule. This will result in fees as high as $75 for some students. That's fine if your dad is Jean Monty or Conrad Black, but
for the rest of us, this is a pretty serious barrier to full participation in a watershed political event.

What can you do?

Come out to the FTAA-Alert's protest:

Concordia Hall Building 1455 de Maisonneuve West, 3pm, Tuesday, March 20.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Impliquez-vous !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
