A debate that has flared at Wesleyan University for the past two weeks, over where to draw the line between freedom of speech and the need to ensure that the campus is a safe space for students from minority backgrounds, peaked in a students-only meeting here on Sunday night. The campus’s nearly 150-year-old newspaper, The Wesleyan Argus, has been at the center of the debate, and one of the paper’s editors said a potential resolution was discussed that might strip the paper of the funding it uses to print twice weekly. The money, provided by the Wesleyan Student Assembly, would instead go toward creating Work-Study positions at any of the campus’s publications if the resolution is brought to the table as it was discussed on Sunday. The meeting lasted more than two hours, and students had to show a Wesleyan ID card to enter the room.
