Reggie the Campus Corgi
is a beloved sight on campus
— a beacon of light and hope
during the dark days of
incoming winter and finals.
But he cannot stay the entire
time, for he must go home and
rest. But what if Reggie had a
place on campus to stay, thus
increasing his time for friendly
head pats and picturesque
photoshoots to be posted on
Facebook?
LSA sophomores Zane
Harding and Kurt Schwartz
created an event to build
a doghouse for Reggie on
campus. As of Wednesday
night, 46 are going and nearly
251 are interested.
The corgi has seen support
from the student body
before — at the beginning
of this semester, his owner,
Michael, said Reggie needed
eye surgery that would cost
over $1,000. He received
$810 for the procedure on his
GoFundMe page.
LSA junior Gaby Fabré
voiced her support for Reggie
in a message to The Daily back
in the summer.
“I just wanna see Reggie
walking around campus again,
the little fluff is a free spirit
and makes my day a little
brighter seeing him bounce
around the diag from student
to student,” she wrote.
Reggie’s presence on social
media started earlier this year;
he currently has 4,274 friends
on Facebook.
“(R)eggie is a good boy and
deserves a good place to stay
on campus,” the new event
page reads. “he is a dog who
runs his own social media
account. he cannot make his
own house because he does
not have thumbs.”

CORGI GETS A NEW HOME
CHUN SO/Daily
Presenters and participants of the Michigan Forward Symposium exchange
ideas about their research and diversity at Weiser Hall Wednesday.
MICHIGAN FORWARD
in protest to the University’s
response last week.
“This week is not just about
protesting
Spencer
coming
here,
it’s
about
protesting
white supremacy and it’s about
protesting the administration’s
lackluster response, inactive,
bystander response to a literal
white supremacist coming on
this campus,” Pham said. “The
thing is here too, on this campus
every single day, on a regular
basis we have hate crimes that
are coming.”
Spencer’s
representative
first requested he speak on the
University’s campus at the end
of October. This request came
after Spencer had requested
to
speak
at
several
other
universities, including Michigan
State University and University
of Florida. The University of
Florida initially denied a request
from Spencer, but after being
threatened
with
a
lawsuit,
relented and allowed Spencer to
speak in October.
On Aug. 17, a statement
released from the Office of the
President at Michigan State
University
declared
MSU
would deny the National Policy
Institute’s
request
to
rent
space on campus. The NPI is
a conservative think tank led
by Spencer. MSU now faces a
lawsuit for not allowing Spencer
to speak.
The
lawyer
representing
Spencer threatened to sue the
University earlier in November
if it did not accommodate
Spencer’s request, giving the
administration a week deadline
to make a decision. This deadline
has since been extended until
Dec. 8.
Previously, University Regent
Ron Weiser (R) said in an email
Spencer was “a dangerous and
disgusting man.”
University
Regent
Denise
Illitch (D), however, was the only
regent opposing the decision last
week, stating while free speech
is a concern of hers, the violence
that accompanies Spencer must
be considered.
“Unfortunately,
I
do
not
agree with the University of
Michigan
administration,”
she
said.
“While
I
am
a
staunch proponent of the First
Amendment, and stand firmly
in support of our constitution,
I remain very concerned that it
is unsafe to allow him to speak
at the University of Michigan.
Violence follows him wherever
he goes.”
LSA senior Kim Truong,
free speech should not justify
the administration potentially
allowing space on campus for
Spencer to speak.
“So a lot of people cling on to
the idea that we need to have
people speak because we should
welcome all ideas, but sometimes
their ideas have proven to be
really harmful over and over
again,” Truong said. “Why do we
need to keep listening to Nazis?
If we give them a space, it’s
saying that those ideas are valid
and should be listened to.”
For LSA freshman Payton
White, not walking out of class
would be remaining complicit in
Spencer coming to campus.
“I
feel
like
if
you’re
not against someone like
him, then you’re basically
advocating for him so I
couldn’t just sit in class,”
White said. “Personally, if
he comes to campus, my life
isn’t going to change because
if I give him attention that
he wants and that’s exactly
what he wants and this is
exactly why he did all of this
but I feel like if we as a group
ignore him and don’t give
him any attention, it would be
more effective than actually
coming and being violent
or being negative about the
whole situation.”
During
the
protest,
a
situation occurred in the
Fishbowl where LSA junior
Princess
Felix
challenged
protesters, arguing it would
not be fair to bar Spencer from
speaking. If students didn’t
like what he was saying, Felix
said, they shouldn’t listen.
