Introducing the FREE SPEECH BOARD!
SPEAK UP & SHOUT OUT!
Starting next week ,this new message board outside the Student Association Office on the 13th floor of the Michigan Building will be a place to POST WHATEVER YOU WANT: personal messages, event announcements, questions, requests, ads, love letters, rants, ANYTHING! Unlike the other bulletin boards on campus, messages on the Free Speech Board DON’T need to be approved by SAIC’s office of Campus Activities. Try to include a contact email address on your posting, so that people can respond to your message. All messages will be removed at the end of each month.
The next month will be a “TRIAL” period to see if people actually make use of the board. If the experiment is deemed a success, the project will be become much more ambitious, with the prospect of a Free Speech Board installed in every SAIC building, and a Free Speech channel on SAIC’s portal homepage. With your participation, these Free Speech Boards can become a valuable forum for communication within the SAIC community. So get up to the 13th floor and POST YOUR MESSAGE TODAY!!

I think this is a great idea. However, the name reminds me of the crowd control mechanisms implemented by the Bush administration which essentially only allowed protest in a police specified area. It was one of the many attacks on our civil liberties, and essentially gave the police justification to crack down on protesters who attempted to exercise their rights to free speech in public.

What about a name like "open forum"?
