KDVS News and Aggie TV are collaborating to provide a platform for mulit-perspective, integrated discussion on the infamous Pepper Spray incident of November 18th, 2012. Both KDVS News and Aggie TV were highly involved in coverage of this event, and we believe it would be valuable to use the anniversary as an opportunity to re-open discourse on the very relevant issues represented by this event.
This panel discussion will air on November 30th from 4:30-6:00PM live on KDVS 90.3FM and kdvs.org. Video coverage will be provided by AggieTV, and will be made available at aggietv.org.
We will be hosting representatives from many sides on this issue. Staff, administration, student government, and student organizers will all participate in order to structure this as a productive discussion.The Pepper Spray Incident has had far-reaching effects for UC Davis and the way our campus deals with student demonstrations. This forum will highlight how this single incident has affected students and the entire community, and how things have changed in the year following it. We are inviting members of the Davis community to submit questions for the panelists.
If you have a question you would like to see addressed in this forum, please send it to news [at] kdvs [dot] org before 6pm Thursday night. We'd love to have some input from a variety of perspectives.
We see this as a great opportunity to engage the campus community, re-visit important topics, and provide a highly accessible discussion about something that had a profound impact on UC Davis.
Much love from the KDVS News Department.
