On the morning of March 3rd, 2020 all of the posters were removed from the GLC Bridge and the KSC windows. In addition the Vice President of Student Life, Dr. Edee Schulze sent out an all student email saying "Posters that are in violation of the policy will be removed. Students who are responsible for hanging or defacing posters will be held accountable for their behavior that is in violation of college policy."

to allstudents To all students, The purpose of this email is to remind all students about the poster policy at Westmont. It can be found in its entirety at this website. I am posting a portion of it below for your convenience. Posters that are in violation of the policy will be removed. Students who are responsible for hanging or defacing posters will be held accountable for their behavior that is in violation of college policy. In the bigger picture, the topic of race and diversity is a very important conversation. The manner in which we conduct ourselves is also important. Respectful and civil discourse is necessary and is demonstrative of the Body of Christ. Our Community Life Statement says: "Learning depends on truth-centered attitudes. It thrives in an atmosphere of discriminating openness to ideas, a condition that is characterized by a measure of modesty toward one's own views, the desire to affirm the true, and the courage to examine the unfamiliar. As convictions are expressed, one enters into the "great conversation" of collegiate life, a task best approached with a willingness to confront and be confronted with sound thinking." I encourage you to read the Community Life Statement in its entirety if you have not done so recently. We all, as students, faculty and staff, have signed it when we came to Westmont. It provides the framework for our community and creates the priorities and principles for our learning, discourse and life together. Please let me know if you have questions. The President's Executive Team, of which I am a member, pray consistently for our community and we will continue to do so. As Jesus prayed for his followers in John 17, may God protect us from the Evil One, sanctify us as the Body of Christ, make us one and give us great joy. Blessings, Edee Poster Policy: All posters on campus must adhere to the posting guidelines. Posting on Campus
