Amid Debate on Free Speech and Safe Space, Wesleyan Students Seek to Hear More Voices

A debate that has flared at Wesleyan University for the past two weeks, over where to draw the line between freedom of speech and the need to ensure that the campus is a safe space for students from minority backgrounds, peaked in a students-only meeting here on Sunday night.  The campus’s nearly 150-year-old newspaper, The Wesleyan Argus, has been at the center of the debate, and one of the paper’s editors said a potential resolution was discussed that might strip the paper of the funding it uses to print twice weekly.
