To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the collapse of the Berlin Wall, a group of students at Washington University in St. Louis chose to stand up to the tyranny of socialism and bring awareness to its consequences.

The students erected a Soviet gulag on the quad of the University to vividly display the ultimate “solution” to dissidence in socialist societies sparking campus intrigue, discussion, and debate. Although an officer initially arrived on the scene and found everything was peaceful, undercover video reveals smarmy Washington University administrators continuing to press and make excuses to shut the fake-Gulag down.It took the bureaucracy hours to find an obscure policy to use against the students.

The man in the video cited the new “Schools Art Installation Policy” as the reason for removing the protest. However it seems that the policy was so new that he couldn’t remember anything about it.

Administrator: “What it is…there’s a new policy on campus…and they did not inform you of it. There’s a process that you need to go through…yeah…

Student: “Where was this policy?”

Administrator: It’s on the… that’s the problem…that’s the problem and may be the reason you didn’t get it… It’s called the art installation policy

The police couldn’t legally do anything about it which is why she left. So the administrator had to come up with something to CYA, before the bureaucracy caught wind of it and he had to really answer to somebody.

I looked up the St. Louis Washington University’s Political Art Installation Policy and it has nothing to do with what is allowed on campus. In fact the only thing the policy does, is require a formal proposal to be filled out IF you are requesting funding for the installation.

Since the students used private funds to pay for the artwork then this policy should have no matter over them.
