The University of Waterloo's decision to sue student protesters for $1.5 million in damages is a direct threat to freedom of expression and sets a dangerous precedent for silencing dissent on campus. By sending this email, you are standing up for the rights of all students, particularly those from vulnerable and marginalized backgrounds, who are being unfairly targeted and intimidated. Your voice can help urge the university to drop this punitive legal action and instead engage in constructive dialogue with the students. Together, we can protect the values of free speech, student safety, and justice within our academic communities.
