Students Protest End of University of Iowa Center for Human Rights

From the Daily Iowan coverage:

Shouts of protest echoed around the Pentacrest Wednesday afternoon.

More than 100 students, faculty, and community members gathered to protest the closing of the University of Iowa Center for Human Rights. Led by Zach Heffernen, the president of Students for Human Rights, the protest lasted an hour and stretched across the east side of the Pentacrest and ended with a march to Jessup Hall.

“The university intends to close the University of Iowa Center for Human Rights,” Heffernen said. “There are many people, me included, who believe this is a bad decision. We are here today protesting that decision.”
