Nicholas Baker, a student at Saint Louis University, a Catholic institution, recently announced his candidacy for the student government’s Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion.
Baker is not the traditional candidate for a role that typically attracts left-leaning progressives.
But Baker, who also serves as president of SLU’s College Republicans, said he is fed up with the direction in which his institution is headed.
“As things stand, SLU is accepting of virtually everyone except for traditional Catholics and conservatives. They’ve gone so far as to allow a group of two thousand students to organize under the name ‘SLU Sluts,’” Baker told The College Fix in a statement Tuesday.
“I hope that the student body will afford me the opportunity to ‘Make SLU Catholic Again’ by voting for me when the polls open next month.”
Saint Louis University officials recently handed down an “inappropriate conduct” sanction against Baker’s College Republicans for posting a video on its Instagram page last fall on the topic: “What is a woman?” The video also called out “SLU Sluts” for “actively making threats against our members,” Baker said at the time.
A Dec. 7 memo obtained by The College Fix this week from SLU administration to Baker states that the GOP group has been issued a disciplinary warning for one year, effective through November 17, 2022, for the video.
A disciplinary warning is an official notification that the “behavior is objectionable and violates the University’s community standards.” Baker’s attempt to appeal the decision was denied.
As part of the punishment, the SLU College Republicans have also been tasked with helping to create “a draft proposal of a social media policy for student organizations,” which is due Feb. 24, according to the memo.

St. Louis University has an associated Jesuit high school named St. Louis University High, SLUH for short.
I went there lo those many years ago.
It’s now more SJW/woke than SLU.
They solicit me for donations all the time.
They never have and never will get a dime.
Sam: Yeah, what's that?
Woody: Let's date'em.
And people scratch their heads and wonder why this country is so screwed up.
They need to make The Vatican Catholic Again, first.
I did some studying there in the mid-80’s and, as a non-Catholic, was well-impressed with real Catholic environment of the place. Of course, a lot of things have gone to hell since then.
“Make sure you wear a rubber, dude.”
Two fearless predictions:
1) he will win
2) the DEI crowd will get it overturned, since nothing in this life is settled until it is settled the way the left wants it settled.
Slush.
