DePaul College Republicans

Today being the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor - is a milestone that marks the ultimate sacrifice of those who wear the uniform. It is a reminder, too, of the valiant efforts of America’s fighting men and women who have liberated millions from tyranny and oppression.

We remember and honor those who lost their lives 75 years ago today in the Attack on Pearl Harbor.

We are deeply saddened today upon learning of Pres. Rev. Holtschneider's resignation after this upcoming school year. We recognize that while we did not always agree with Father and his decisions, he always tried to do what was best for the whole of the DePaul community. He was a great leader and will be missed by the University.

In the recent days after our Milo Yiannopoulos event, a number of campus groups have called for Father's resignation. The DePaul College Republicans were not one of those groups. While we had disagreements with Father, and while we were certainly not happy with how he treated our speaker after the event, we appreciated his commitment to free speech at DePaul even in the face of so many calling for suppression.

Sadly, that commitment did not last long. It is quite disheartening to see, in today's society, that a throng of radical, thin-skinned students can compel so forcefully the President of the largest Catholic University in the world to resign. Compel it no less, for allowing a guest to speak on campus, for allowing new and different ideas to permeate the space.

That is not what education is supposed to be about.

We hope the University finds a suitable replacement for Father, one who will continue to live out the Catholic mission every day and one who will continue to uphold the values of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and intellectual diversity. Those values are crucial to our school and our society. We implore Father's successor to stay strong in the face of adversity and forcefully adhere to that which makes university what it is in the first place.

We will be having an end of the year meeting. Thursday at 6:30. Arts and Letters 306

Thank you to all the service men and women no longer with us for the sacrifice you made for our freedom

EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Milo Yiannopoulos amid DePaul fiasco – HYPELINE Hypeline was given the opportunity to interview self-described “most fabulous supervillain on the internet” Milo Yiannopoulos shortly after his event at DePaul University was prematurely cancelled.

OFFICIAL DEPAUL COLLEGE REPUBLICANS STATEMENT:

What happened tonight at our Milo Yiannopoulos event is a sad verdict on the American campus today. We wanted to put on a good event; bring some new perspectives to the modern issues of our day and have some fun.

Regrettably, militant protestors decided to hijack the event. Loud whistles, threats of violence and straight up suppression of speech. There was no discourse, no Q&A, just fascism.

Additionally, DePaul security's response to the thuggery was utterly shameful. We spent thousands of dollars and countless hours to get the proper security and put this event on, but when security was actually needed, they did nothing.

What is the point of having security if they won't do anything when they are CLEARLY needed? DePaul administration and security's response just shows the liberal bias that so obviously pervades universities all around the country. Conservatives can't host speakers, can't put on events, because as soon as we get started vile leftists will shut down our events while administration cooperates with their oppressive, disgusting actions.

We want to thank Milo Yiannopoulos for putting up with this garbage, and we hope, in some way, DePaul administration will actually do something to address this abomination and hold those responsible for what this event became accountable.
