If you were about to say have an open academic debate and welcome student opinion, you be wrong!
You BAN them from the Student Union and you launch a full-out assault against the student by abusing the harassment process and accusing the student of harassment against the Student Union.
This is the case for myself and another student at Ryerson Student Union:

Isn’t it nice to know that free speech and freedom of opinion are alive and well on our campuses. My sin, trying to have a vote to ban corporate gifts to the MSU.

Now, now Joey. You know full well that a Student Union exec’s name is gold plated latinum in these kinds of proceedings.
and that’s my opionion, BITE ME.
If the M, I mean RSU exec wants a student banned all they have to do is have their exec say that s/he is indeed guilty of whatever charges are brought against him/her.
The University will take the SU’s word over a student’s any time. If the SU says a student is guilty the University takes the exec’s word for it, for they are honourable men. The student may be innocent, but the exec says he’s guilty, thus he must be guilty, for the exec is honourable, so are they all honourable men.
I can’t really comment on the RSU situation, but if it’s anything as the one I am more familiar with, it’s a bunch of bullshit.
