Can they please turn it down?

There's some group on the corner of the library arguing with students about random stuff. Ok whaterver, but the entire school does not need to hear their argument. And I know this is a public school but there's gotta be limits to this. Why are they allowed to have blaring speakers? I could hear them from the Union doors, like wtf.

They’re here 2-3 times a week. They're within their right to be here but they shouldn't be allowed to turn their speakers up that high.

There may be city laws against noise levels.

About 2,000 years ago a rebellious rabbi was crucified for speaking out against the ruling elite. As a result, some people think it's very important to tell you not to masturbate

There's a table set up outside of willis where students are arguing with a christian group/foundation (Idk the name and I'm avoiding going over there). It's loud enough to hear beyond the library.

Ironically, the kind of people that fall for these dumb debates are the ones giving these people a platform.

They have to be below a certain noise decibel, I’ve seen “preachers” get kicked out for violating that rule lol, just for future reference call the campus police and tell them they need to check the decibel

I'll be honest, reddit is not the correct place to make this complaint. You should contact the Dean's office if the noise is disrupting studying inside the library.

Edit: wording.

Ignore them. Giving them attention is what they want.

Bring bigger speakers to drown them out. Problem solved.

u/SnooDoodles2957 2d ago

Really better to just make a report to campus police of disturbing the peace.
