The UNC College Republican club, as you have probably seen, is planning a demonstration against UNC's administration for their failure to characterize the recent assault on students (the SUV driven by a Muslim extremist into "the Pit," a popular campus gathering place) as terrorism, which it clearly was.

The concern of UNC's administration (Erskine Bowles is now President of the University system) for political correctness led not only to the shying away of the terrorist label in the recent incident, but also to a public rebuke of the student newspaper (the Daily Tar Heel) for publishing a student-drawn editorial cartoon purporting tom show the image of the prophet Mohammad.

I have suggested to the UNC administration that they take the next logical step to avoid offending Muslims. It seems to me likely that the word "Chapel" might be offensive to them; I therefore recommended that they consider changing the name of the campus to the University of North Carolina at Mosque Hill.

I'll let you know if my suggestion is accepted.

The UW madison CR club stands out, but I still think that they put way too much time into political campagins. This is because the University nearly took away their registered student org status over some sort of direct activism tactic, something that leftists do all the time but don't get into trouble for.
