Student Subjected To 'Safe Space' Vote Simply For Raising Her Hand
Imogen Wilson, Vice President for academic affairs at Edinburgh’s student association, was threatened with removal from Thursday’s student council session under “safe space” rules.
After being accused of failing disabled students by not responding to an open letter, Wilson responded instinctively.
“At that point, I raised my arms in disagreement, as we had contacted the writers of the letter and tried hard to organise a meeting. It was for that reason that a safe space complaint was made,” Wilson told HuffPost UK
Wilson later shook her head whilst someone was speaking, and was threatened with another safe space complaint.
A fourth-year student at the meeting, who wished to remain anonymous, told HuffPost UK: “The whole thing was a ludicrous abuse of the entire intent of safe space.
