Given that: 1) Stop The War! has never collectively participated in or advocated for violence of any kind, or destruction of property, in any circumstance; 2) The Dean of Students Office is investigating STW members with the threat of probation, suspension, or expulsion without cause; 3) STW members stand falsely accused of conduct constituting the kind of serious danger to personal safety to members of our campus community, which military recruiters engage in every time the facilitate the deployment of students to the illegal and immoral war in Iraq, using their well-documented manipulative practices; 4) By Chancellor Wileys own admission, the UW is in violation of its own anti-discrimination policy by allowing military recruiters (and their "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" employment policy) access to campus; 5) And that these aforementioned truths add up to hypocritical, irresponsible, and intimidating conduct by the campus administration, which threatens the fundamental right to freedom of speech and conscientious dissent due all UW students.

We the undersigned, demand that the investigation against Paul Pryse and the campus organization known as Stop The War! be dropped immediately, and followed by an apology to both the individual and the group for this vicious and baseless attack on STW members' character and constitutional rights.
