A campus pro-life club caused controversy at the University of Calgary when they erected a graphic display as part of a " Genocide Awareness Project " which compared and equated the results of an abortion with historical atrocities such as the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide . This case was the ninth time in which the group had put on the display . University security staff requested that the students turn the graphic portions of their display inward , away from passers-by . When the eight students running the display refused to comply , the university initiated non-academic misconduct proceedings against them . The school 's Vice-Provost ruled that the actions constituted misconduct and penalized the students with a formal written warning
