BY HUNTER MCKEE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28TH 2016</p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCCU) — Protesters lined up outside the University of Illinois Law School Friday.</p>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 6px; font-family: inherit;" class="">An anti-war group who expressed their concerns about guest speaker Harold Koh, who they believe is an advocate toward violence.</p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">Koh served as a Dean at Yale Law School and spent four years as the 22nd Legal Advisor of the United States.</p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">"He is an advocate of drone warfare, he's responsible for many deaths, not of soldiers, but of children, he's killing civilians and this is what the American people have to recognize,” said Karen Aram,
a member of a member of the local antiwar, anti-racism effort or "AWARE.</p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">They are just one of the groups who decided to protest against the university for showcasing Koh as a guest speaker for the law school, but this protest doesn't just involve them.</p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">Francis Broyle has been a law professor at the college for 39 years and he supports this movement, "This is the most despicable act I have ever seen here at the College of Law.”</p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">The University of Illinois respond by stating this:</p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">"Professor Harold Koh was selected because he is one of the country's leading experts in public and private international law, national security law, and human rights. He has received fourteen honorary
degrees and more than thirty awards for his human rights work."</p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">However, Broyle and others believe it’s wrong for the university to support him.</p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">"This clearly violates the Illinois Ethics Government Act and I would encourage the people in the community to file a complaint.”</p><p style="margin: 6px 0px; font-family: inherit;" class="">FOX 55/27 News in Illinois</p>
