Update on Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week at Penn

Following up on my previous posts about Islamo-Facism Awareness Week (IFAW), here is a brief update:

• There are ongoing negotiations between Programs in Religion, Interfaith, and Spirituality Matters (PRISM), MSA and the leadership of College Republicans, the group that is spearheading the event at Penn.
  
• Last week, the Undergraduate Assembly Steering committee discussed Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week and student leaders aired their initial concerns.
  
• There is a University Council meeting during the week, on Wednesday October 24th. At every Council meeting there is an open forum, which typically isn't used. I submitted a request to speak about the awareness week which if granted will mean I have 3 minutes and time for question/comments.
  
• This Wednesday, October 10th, the University Council steering committee is meeting and will discuss which open forum items will be on the agenda (the deadline to submit items was last week).

More to come after I get a response. I also still need to get the calendar of events for IFAW.
