At Laurens Vigil...
This is just outrageous. I don't even know what to say...
sorry for the horribly long link, but it is worth your time to copy and paste.

The response from our Dean of Students:
Many of you have emailed me this past few days expressing your moral outrage in regards to reports of a protest scheduled to take place during the same time as the memorial for Lauren Burk. In order to avoid any potential problems or issues that might arise and take away from this service, we will be able to limit access into the coliseum. We don't anticipate any problems inside during the memorial itself. Additionally, police officers will be stationed around the coliseum.
Let me remind all Auburn students to please remember to conduct yourselves like Auburn men and women. I realize you are hurt and angry, and having to deal with a group such as the Westboro Baptist church only increases some of that anger. Please listen to me. IGNORE THEM! Attention is what the group likes to get. In honor of Lauren and all she stood for and still means to us, please do not resort to violence, or exchanging words with these individuals, if they show up for the memorial. We don't now for sure if they will be here, but everything they have published and sent out indicates they plan to be on campus tomorrow. Auburn university is a public institution, and while we are fairly limited in how we can restrict access to a public institution, be assured that we have organized this memorial to minimize opportunities for groups such as Westboro Baptist church to disrupt our campus and its programs.
I am counting on you to display the quality of character that make Auburn men and women distinctive. For Lauren. For Auburn.
See you tomorrow.
War Eagle!
Your Dean of Students,
JG

THIS JUST MAKES ME SICK!
I'll keep you all posted if they actually show...
