We have been asked by many to give some examples of recent issues that Protestant and Unionist students have faced at Queen’s. Here are some of many examples:

- The refusal by several professors to condemn the murder of Edgar Graham
- The attempt to ban the poppy

(1/5)
- Attempts to ban police from campus and the British Army from Fresher’s Fayre
- The apparent glorification of militant republicanism by well known figures in the SU on social media
- The dramatic under-representation of Protestant students

(2/5)
- The ‘Brits out’ poster of Ogra Sinn Fein, which the SU did not openly condemn
- Widespread sectarian chanting in student accommodation
- Recent sectarian attack in student accomodation on student(s)

(3/5)
- Student’s Union reps reacting with contempt to Unionist concerns
- The removal of poppy wreaths from the war memorial a few years ago
- A professor publishing nationalist literature in QUB’s name - which many feel is detrimental to the neutrality of the University

(4/5)
- The ripping down of a Queen’s Officer Training Corps banner, also never condemned
- The refusal of the SU itself to condemn the glorification of terrorism in February

With the Student Council now refusing to condemn Troubles-related terrorism, this is the final straw.
