The Social Justice Living-Learning Community is “designed for students who are involved in promoting a more inclusive and just society,” and promises to provide such students with opportunities for “creating and leading positive social change.”

I can smell the self-regard from here.

Apparently, every surface will be mirrored to better allow these people to admire themselves.

From the pitiful article :

The Social Justice Living-Learning Community is “designed for students who are involved in promoting a more inclusive and just society,” and promises to provide such students with opportunities for “creating and leading positive social change.”

The Social Justice LLC is “for students who are involved in promoting a more inclusive and just society.” Tweet This

The website for the LLC does not have a specific schedule of events for the semester, but notes that students may engage with guest speakers, film series, book clubs, and service opportunities.

Cheryl Terrance, faculty advisor of the UND Ten Percent Society (TPS), a student support group for the “GLBTQQIA community,” told Campus Reform that the LLC was developed by the school’s housing office, but predicted that social justice-oriented student groups such as TPS would likely be involved in programming efforts.

Connie Frazier, Executive Director of Housing and Dining at UND, corroborated that speculation, telling Campus Reform that while LLCs are housing initiatives, they arise out of student interest and students self-select who will live in the community.

“This is a brand new one so those students are just beginning now the discussion of how they want to define their community and what kinds of activities they would want to get involved and do,” Frazier explained.

Students who are interested in living in a community that “believe[s] that each person shares the responsibility of creating an environment in which all residents are respected and valued—regardless of one’s age, size, gender, sexual orientation, identity or identity expression, disability, race, ethnicity, color, creed, national origin, cultural background, socio-economic status, or religious affiliation or conviction,” need only indicate interest on their residence hall application in order to be considered for the Social Justice LLC.

The LLC also specifically points out that it is inclusive with respect to gender, and will allow people of all gender identities to room with whomever they feel most comfortable, although the application process does note that “gender inclusive room assignment requests must be mutual

Yeah, those students will graduate ready to enter and work in “the real world”. Not.

I wish the little b@stardz could be housed in a living facility that reflects the *results* of their social policy ideas for the duration of their scholarship...

That might actually help with their education.

This will not go well for him.

UND is very conservative.

You left out Chairman Mao, who with justice and equality sent everyone equally to the collectives, foundries and wherever during the “Great Leap Forward.”

Bigtime bad idea-these are college students-that group almost always likes to party hardy-what could go wrong?

I’d bet real money on the cops being called to break up an alcohol-and-weed fueled melee there in a few months-won’t look good for their lofty expectations of “social justice”...

Compared to what?

I went to rival NDSU. We thought UND were a bunch of Marxist pantywaists. Except for the hockey and football teams, the former of which consistently beat us and the later of which provided at least worthy competition. Of course, in those days they were called the Fighting Sioux. And Chester Fritz was still alive.

Lot of native American Indians in ND, who don’t really care about PC but like to stick it to The Man. And plenty of illegals working in ND because of the oil boom.

Nudity and continual sex will be required. This should last about 3 days.

“a living facility that reflects the *results*”...

I believe that is called a “prison”-

I love your great idea!

I hear they even have a little Reichstag to burn whenever bolder actions must be taken in the name of Social Justice.

In reality, this is an opportunity for these, uhm, “Like Minded” students to self segregate and create their own ideological Safe Zones.
