Students at Concordia University have a history of opposing the military‘s presence on their campus. In a March 1984 referendum, students voted to designate the university a "military free zone." The student union also has a resolution declaring all of its space military-free.
But Concordia‘s acting dean of students says the university has no obligation to follow student union policies.
"Our role is to respect every association, even if not everyone agrees with the ideas they hold," he said. "If the [student union] or other students don‘t like the army doing recruiting here, there are others that may be interested in it and the university has to consider them too."
I do not know who is to blame, maybe they did it because they saw Army‘s invading country‘s and they did not agree and this was one of the only things they could do, but it brings debate and maybe this will bring change.Originally posted by Slim:

...and I would like to see them stop a soldier on duty from performing his orders.When they realized what happened, then they rallied the dean and the administration to make concodia an "Non-militarized zone" meaning that no solider on active duty can be on university grounds...
