Really. I comprehend his frustration. I mean.. where are all the DIE-IN protestors when ya need 'em? They could, SHOULD, have been there supporting his cause.

Yeah, and drown the pig in that crappy western tomato-based sauce!
This is a kid that finally realized that after 4 years and $100,000 spent getting a double major degree in philosophy and psychology, he is still gonna have to work the fryolator at McDonalds for the rest of his life, because he hasn't shown enough mathematical aptitude or education to get to work the cash register.

Here I am, another Carolina grad, one of more conservatives than many might think were at Carolina during my years (1976-80, 1985-88). I have to agree with you in all respects. I have given very infrequently to UNC since my graduations, especially from law school. There were maybe 2 or 3 professors who were not flaming libs. Paul Haskell was among the conservative stalwarts. He taught Property, Trusts and Estates, and, understandably, Ethics. Despite Carolina's liberal (and theoretically open to all views) atmosphere, Prof. Haskell had a saying that I recall fondly to this day: "Law school sharpens your mind by narrowing it." This is UNC in a nutshell.
At some point, even UNC might reach a tipping point where the liberal crazies will be put in their place. I so look forward to that day.
Alleged? Idiotic "journalism."
I earned an MBA there between your two stints. The business school faculty had a few liberals, but it's hard to be an anticapitalist and teach at the business school at the same time. On balance, I didn't find much about the faculty or the student body that alarmed me, but then logic says I was in the least liberal corner of the campus.
On other threads, I've maintained that the UNC students are the least liberal group in Chapel Hill -- compared with the Administration (largely controlled by the Dem-majority General Assembly; the faculty; the largely unionized staff (health care workers at the University hospitals and Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, and Pharmacy seem particularly prone to liberalism); the townspeople; and the "hangers-on" (University grads or dropouts who can't bear to leave, and open the usual college town collection of coffee houses, bars, bookstores, tee-shirt stores, art galleries, and so on).
Against this backdrop, it's amazing how many conservatives there are among the student body. But they're there, and in appreciable numbers, too.
I agree with you completely. You just have to keep your head low, I guess. Besides, conservative students are more likely to be actually studying while in school, or at least not standing out like a liberal sore thumb. Glad to meet another like-minded Carolina grad. Where are you now? I am in Lewisville, just outside of Winston-Salem.
Likewise. I am a native of Charlotte and a lifelong resident of the general vicinity, now living in exurban-transforming-to-suburban Weddington, in Union County.
Stop by the NCFR board and say hi.
That is pretty interesting. It's the first article I've seen so far that mentions that little factoid.
More “workplace violence.” Has America submitted yet? We the people haven’t but seems the government has become dhimmi.
Never heard of this. my prayers for ALL the victims and families.
