Students demand UW raise sports ticket prices to fund diversity efforts
Campus Reform ^ | Apr 26, 2016 | Anthony Gockowski

University of Wisconsin Madison students demanded more funding for diversity initiatives at an open forum Monday night, even though the administration has already succumbed to many of their previous demands.

One student at the forum, according to the Wisconsin State Journal, suggested that the university raise ticket prices for athletic events in order to help fund opportunities for disadvantaged students.

I don’t understand why any white person even applies to a college, knowing they are going for a spot that could be filled by a minority. If these white snowflakes value diversity so much shouldn’t they be the ones leasing by example and freeing up a spot?

Hell, college games should be free for full-time students anyway because of the silly athletic department fee that students get stuck with.

Just look to Mizzou to see where all this heads:

25% decrease in freshmen enrollement IN ONE YEAR..!

Lots of people pledging to never again attend a Mizzou sporting event, etc.

THEY HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Aren’t the sports themselves the “diversity efforts”?

Score!

In 2009, the bozo president of the University of Texas Austin stated they'd have to shut down Longhorn football if they had to follow the law that allowed any Texas high school student graduating in the top 10% of his class automatic acceptance at any in-state university. Wait, does that mean that minorities aren't smart?! White students can't jump? Nevermind the law was created for the entire state because UT discriminated against admitting white students into their pre-law program.

It doesn't bode well for America's future workforce.

When you get out of Milwaukee, notice how clean all the towns are. There are guns in every other house. But if you did try to rob some one, (and people don’t steal up here), they would not shoot you. They would knock you out with one punch. They are big here.

I was really amazed at how neat most streets and highways were.

The people as a rule were generally OK that I ran into.

I can’t believe the president kept his/her job after stating the truth. They do no favors by giving free passes to people; they know they are unqualified tokens, and the sense of inferiority eats them up inside.

Thank you!

I wouldn’t want to go to a school dedicated to a sports program (or a party scene, for that matter); when I went to school it was to get an education and a degree. Few distractions, and I had a lot in common with like-minded students. Less-serious “students” went elsewhere, including other campuses of the same university that would give them that “high school feel”...

Diversity!! BS . What the hell is wrong with one America, these diversity clowns learn our language, our traditions and values, and we don’t play their damn game. You want to stay here? Learn.If not- do not let the door hit you in the ass. We are not changing for anyone. Obama can take his White guilt script/lesson plans he is having shoved on our military and leave the USA.

I’d like to see the snowflakes standing outside a Badger hockey game telling the students that they need to pay more for “diversity”. I’m pretty sure a lot of the snowflakes would melt away.

Of course they should. That should have been happening since the 1970s.

But it’s always about screwing the other guy

Must not be that popular:

. . . increasing the number of mental health counselors available to minority students.

Chancellor Rebecca Blank even said the university asked the campus community for proposals on how to improve the climate for minority students, but only received 102 responses.

Then why do the people put up with the University of Wisconsin and it’s uber liberal bent?

You do remember what these crazies did at, and to, the capitol? Madison is "Moscow on Lake Mendota".
