Another Egyptian in the house - part 3

Tamer Zikry, my team mate this year on the Egyptian national team and next years National President of AIESEC Egypt, is up and blogging on nomadlife. Tamer is one of the smartest and hardest working people I have ever met - and his blog is already showing signs of becoming a nomadlife must-read.
His thoughts on current developments at the American University in Cairo (AUC) are definitely worth reading:
His thoughts on current developments at the American University in Cairo (AUC) are definitely worth reading:
"AUC is not arresting people but then it is taking away their right to be on campus when they had actually paid loads of money to get access to it and why? not coz the girl with the face veil was a serial killer or coz the guy with the stickers was a thief but coz they were expressing an opinion or a belief in a completely non-violent and civilised way....Absolutely. Whether it is banning girls from wearing religious clothing or banning students from displaying political statements (pro democracy ones at that) - the AUC is definitely not living up to its name as a home of enlightened thought in Cairo.
If one of the most reputable American institutions in Cairo can't do this right...how are we expecting the governments to get it right??!!"
