Creations Case for God" (November 12th at 7pm in the Memorial Union). This event is extremely and blatantly offensive and intolerent of other people's religious, etc. beliefs. It is also extremely disrespectful. I am, as well as many people I know (of varying religious beleifs) are offended and hurt by these posters and this event. This event 4 should not be allowed to be advertised on campus or held on campus. followup: I want this event to be canceled on the NDSU Campus and if they decide to hold the event elsewhere, that they not be allowed to post any adverstisements for it.

The group also has a contact table in the Memorial Union, today, November 8 and November 13. checked on postings in the residence halls and he reported the poster was properly posted with the other posters in Seim, Thompson, and Weible. The event was reserved by the St. Paul Newman Center. They are a registered student organization on campus, and they are in good standing. If you need more information regarding this group, please let me know.

I think all we need to do is confirm that it is a student org sponsoring the event and then let and know what group is doing it and whether or not they have complied with posting policies.

If they're putting them in the wrong places, then there's a problem, but not with the content. 2 NDSU Dept. p: , PO Box 6050 /Fargo, ND 58108-6050 If: www.ndsu.edu From: Sent: Monday, November 05, 2012 8:57 AM To: Subject: RE: Bias Report from the Web Form I agree, it is always hard to have to respond to these, but I wanted to keep you in the loop.

If those assumptions are correct, then I don't see that there's a problem. We're in the business of providing access to differing ideas and viewpoints. The language of the poster is provocative, but I do not see that its offensive. NDSU Dept. p: , PO Box 6050 /Fargo, ND 58108-6050 If: 3
