Dear onthebeach,

Concerning the university's logo...

You don't seem to understand the fact that university
Departments, faculties, institutions, et al - all use
the university logo because they are part of the university.
And once again I shall try to make it clear to you that
correspondence obtained by the 7.30 Report shows that
university authorities ticked off on the plan in January.
That a venue was settled on the campus's theatre complex,
the Seymour centre and that staff from the university's
brand new Institute for Democracy and human Rights
began to organise the event.

On April 2nd the even was cancelled. Despite his initial
enthusiasm the man in charge of the university had a
change of heart. Political leaders, students, and university
staff don't buy into the university's back peddling.
Neither do I.

And you've got it all wrong.
It isn't a "Greens" conspiracy at all.

What it is - is a Communist plot!
;-)

See ya.

Glib reference to 'university authorities' means anything and nothing. But in this case it rather obviously did not include the university administration that was supposed to be contacted for approval and was not. The university has said that.

Likewise, authority to use a logo should never be assumed.

But still, now that you make pointed reference to a "man in charge", he must at fault by definition LOL

The Greens are getting no traction on this. It is an egg-beat.

Beach person, I am sure you are just trying to fuel the debate and are not so naive to believe the spiel now being peddled by the SU 'hierakies' in relation to this matter. Imagine just for one second if you can, Barack Obama is down to speak at SU in a couple of months time but due to a clerical error official approval had not been granted. Can you imagine the VC at SU saying "So sorry Mr President, you can't speak here, no official approved, but we do have an alternate venue for you, in the boom docks."

Dear Paul,

Another interesting thing is the Confucius Institutes
world-wide, and the work they do on university campuses.
Sydney university
has one on its campus (of course). Here's the link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerns_and_controversies_over_Confucius_Institutes

They forbid topics like - Tibet, Dalai Lama, Taiwan, Tianammen Sq.
human rights discussions and they peddle their "one China" policy.
I can't understand why a conservative like Beach person would
support a totalitarian regime like China. His hatred of the
Greens must take priority over reason and facts.

Lexi,

Why did you call me a 'conservative' and play with my username ('Beach person') just because I reiterated some rather obvious facts?

The Australian university the Greens are intent on trashing has stated simply and plainly that the Dalai Lama's organisation did not seek the necessary approvals from university administration as it should have done.

Fair enough, approval should always be sought through the proper channels. It should never be assumed. Quite simple really and totally undeserving of the wild allegations being made against the university in this thread.

If you're "onthebeach," then in everybody else's
mind you are perceived as a "beach person,"
maybe even a "surfie."

You in your own mind are right.
And you believe what you believe.

That is something I can do nothing about.

I called you a "conservative" for the simple reason
that although not all conservatives are stupid.
There are an awful lot of stupid people who
happen to be conservative. They always look
for a scapegoat, and prefer to ignore facts.
