Notre Dame continues to pressure students


Notre Dame University management's ongoing clumsy attempts at censorship of student activities has once again featured in the Fremantle Herald. The March 1 edition has an article titled "Still Censoring".

Notre Dame student and Socialist Alliance senate candidate Chris Jenkins told the paper that the Socialist Alliance club was twice told to remove equal marriage and pro-choice material.

"At that point she decided to turn around and leave," he said.
