We Welcome Support
This issue extends far beyond the neighbourhood immediately surrounding
Queen's University. It is a Kingston-wide issue. Beyond Kingston it is an issue
that reaches all Queen's alumni concerned about the reputation of a great
university.
Even before launching this webite, we were hearing citizens from Bayridge,
from Pittsburgh, from Kingscourt, expressing in various forms their
disappointment with the attitude of entitlement that many (but not all) Queen's
students display. We heard concerns about the hundreds of thousands of
taxpayer dollars being wasted on policing of Queen's Homecoming street
parties, and more.
We sense that there is a deep, simmering concern throughout our city. We
sense that many citizens from all over Kingston feel enough is enough. They
feel that now it is time for action. For starters, Queen's University must enforce
its Student Code of Conduct regarding illegal consumption and sale of
alcohol--somethying that from what we can see, Queen's has substantially
failed to do.
SONAG seeks and welcomes support from all. Working together, we are
going to press actively for change. The status quo is simply not acceptable.
