I am writing to support Hampton University students who are being threatened with expulsion for participating in the Peaceful Protest on November 2, 2005. The student group that organized the protest has not been officially recognized, even though they have applied for recognition numerous times.





They have been consistently denied access to the democratic process to which they are entitiled as students, and through which it can be determined if they are worthy of recognition.





I demand that the hearings be dropped and that you change your policy on student protests and demonstrations immediately.





I will be following the situation at Hampton very closely
