Dedicated to intellectual honesty....
Bwahahaha
My, how times have changed.
Back in ‘84, I recall no rioting or protests at the University of Minnesota when Reagan won handily over Mondale.
No one needed counseling because they were afraid or were feeling marginalized.
How can I put it any other way? These kids really need to grow up fast and the administration shouldn’t be offering counseling or group discussions.
What did they offer to conservatives when Obama won?
The Wolverines are a lot different today than they used to be! Change the name to Weasels or is that an insult to weasels?
The dean at my college would have told us to shut up and get to class. Of course in those days flunking out could mean getting drafted.
A friend of mine was a lucky number 10 and became a marine. He came back Ok in 2 years.
Half of the departments mentioned here should be cut, with a corresponding savings passed to the students and taxpayers.
Organized pity parties? Awwwwww....
Trump needs to clean up academia too.
Except for Christians and conservatives and Israel supporting Jews.
Oh did I forget straight white men?
Remember Bush Derangement Syndrome. It will look like the common cold when compared to TDS.
Sounds like an attempt, at least, at balanced discourse, and a discussion of how democracy is **supposed** to work.
Republican academics are actually invited to participate.
I’m thinking (hoping) that more than a few university presidents are secretly heaving a sigh of relief at Trump’s win. What does this mean for them?
It means they’ll no longer be forced to cower to the PC police, in peril for their jobs. They can return to true academic discourse.
What happened? Was there a terrorist attack? A mass shooting? Are we at war? Did some beloved member of the Michigan community meet an untimely end? No? Oh, the election didn’t turn out the way they wanted. Now, I know that in a truly just and equal society, all of the candidates you vote for should get elected — it’s practically a right — especially on your first vote. But we don’t have a truly just and equal society, so that’s not how it works. You win some and you lose some, snowflakes. That’s life. I don’t want to discourage you from voting in the future by telling you my own sad tale, but you might benefit hearing from a much older and much more experienced voter. Are you sitting down? I voted for YEARS without having ANY of my candidates elected to office. Not a single damned one. Somehow, I got over it without a large, supportive community, without meetings and discussion groups, without safe places, and without years of expensive psychotherapy. It’s true. And if I could do it, you can do it too.
It’s a state school.
Cut off the damned funding already!

do you have an email? I would be willing to respond.
