Calling All Students: Raising Awareness about Racism/Sexism/Discrimination in the Lance

 

The students in 53-410 “Women in Protest” engaged in a critical analysis of The Lance, a prominent newspaper at the University of Windsor. Our research has led us to recognize that there are many issues that need to be addressed in the Lance.

The Lance presents itself as “the university newspaper” that reflects the student population. We have concluded that this is not the case. Moreover, the material published in The Lance is often discriminatory, exclusive, and/or irrelevant to the majority of students on our campus.

In no way are we attacking the individuals associated with The Lance; we believe that there are improvements that must be made to the newspaper. We demand that the $4.91 allocated to the Lance from students’ tuition be used to create a newspaper that is inclusive and representative of the students – not to help fund hate on campus.

Stand up for your rights, and the rights of others. Demand equality, by showing your support on December 2nd, from 12:30-2:30 in front of the CAW Student Centre (Between Dillion Hall and CAW)
