EUGENE, Ore. -- University of Oregon students applauded the student senate committee's resolution to demand the administration to ban a controversial free speech group from meeting in their student union.

"I felt like they did the right thing. I felt like it was necessary especially with all the vandalism," UO student Cienna Simmons.

The committee passed a compromised resolution Wednesday night, admitting its opposition to the Pacifica Forum. The resolution states the forum is not welcome in the student union and calls on the administration to decide the fate of the forum and whether it will be able to meet on campus or not.

"It's gonna take a lot of coming together of the students to figure out some kind of dimplomatic way to ask them to leave," said UO student Meleji Meekisho.

Some senators didn't completely support the resolution, but they agree it is a step in the right direction.
