University of Illinois Backtracks from Blocking 9/11 Flag Display by College Republicans
The College Fix reported:
In the end, honoring the dead of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks beat the lawn-care needs of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The school backed down from its insistence that the campus chapter of the College Republicans not plant 2,977 small American flags on the quad as a memorial, following a short but intense pressure campaign by students.
Before agreement was reached Wednesday night, chapter President Chris Piper told The College Fix in a phone interview that the university claimed that placing flags in the ground would interfere with the “irrigation system” and lawn care.
