The Pacifica Forum will not meet in the EMU for the rest of the 2009-10 school year, University officials declared at the ASUO Senate’s Wednesday night meeting. “It’s really, really disturbing to me that some students are not feeling safe,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Robin Holmes. “You’re here to get an education and nothing else.” The Pacifica Forum has been the subject of protests this term after the group invited speakers who have denied the existence of the Holocaust and espoused anti-Semitic viewpoints.
