University Student Guild Apologises for Rejecting Conservative Student Group
The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) has claimed a victory in the fight for freedom of speech on campus on Friday after a university group apologised for previously rejecting an event stall application on the grounds of values.
Queensland University of Technology’s (QUT) Student Guild told the IPA’s youth group, Generation Liberty, that their application to set up a stall during orientation week in 2020 was denied because the “brand does not align with our values.”
“The Queensland University of Technology Student Guild staff extends an unreserved apology to Generation Liberty for the Guild’s rejection of an application to hire a stall at the QUT Gardens Point Campus on Market Day 2020 and stating the reason for this was that the brand of Generation Liberty did not align with the values of the Guild,” the Guild’s general manager Paul Clayton said on Facebook on July 28.
