A university spokesperson sent Yahoo Lifestyle a message from President Robert Vartabedian:
“We have approached this as a learning experience for our campus. Members of my administrative team and I have met and talked with our campus community in group settings, individually, and by phone, email and social media, and will continue to do so. Throughout these conversations, we have continued to emphasize: Missouri Western State University cherishes the freedom of expression guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution, and we have an obligation to protect that freedom for our students, employees and visitors. We also must take care to exercise that freedom of expression in a way that reflects respect for others, especially on a college campus that values a diversity of thoughts and experiences. I believe our students, faculty and staff have engaged in discussions about these issues with a seriousness of purpose and a sincere commitment to understand one another. We will continue to do so.”
