Purdue University has weighed in to support a Chinese student who faced harassment on campus over his criticism against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), saying that those who censor speech on behalf of the communist regime should “pursue education elsewhere.”
“One of our students, after speaking out on behalf of freedom and others martyred for advocating it, was harassed and threatened by other students from his own home country,” Purdue President Mitch Daniels said in a Dec. 15 email to the campus community. “Worse still, his family back home, in this case China, was visited and threatened by agents of the nation’s secret police.”
