Students are seeking to have the chain removed from the university's College Park campus. Some 850 people have signed onto a petition seeking to bar Chick-Fil-A from the University of Maryland's College Park campus, the Washington Blade reports.

The project disseminates its message, that "society was setup for us [whites]" and as such is "unfair," through an aggressive campaign of online videos, billboards, and lectures. The ads feature a number of Caucasians confessing their guilt for the supposed "privilege" that comes along with their fair features. WATCH BELOW: Group says it is "unfair" to be white

Are students that promote the black panther ideology and the Office of Diversity in league together at the University of Minnesota - Duluth (UMD)? It would would appear so in the video below. The events took place last week as one young man, Phil Cleary, handed out pocket Constitutions on campus in honor of Constitution Day. He had a table with literature promoting Youth for Western Civilization, a group dedicated to traditional values and western civilization, and engaged in students and faculty passing by. Then, the leftists showed up to heckle. The young man in the video, Blair Jordon Moses,...

During his town hall meeting in Maryland today on the debt crisis, President Obama found time to answer critics who think his position (and positions) have a socialist flavor. And he joked about it. “This isn’t just some wild-eyed socialist position, it’s the position being taken by people of both parties and no party,“ he said with with a smirk as the audience chuckled and after talking about ”shared sacrifice:” Obama seems well aware of his critics. For example, on radio today Glenn Beck labeled the president a “Marxist.” Less than two weeks away from a debt ceiling deadline, President...

Although a plan to close Campus Drive this summer has drawn sharp criticism from on- and off-campus groups, administrators have said changing the plan could conflict with the spirit of the trial. The experiment, which calls for Campus Drive to be closed to traffic except emergency vehicles and two internal bus routes from June 19 to Aug. 13, was formed to allow the university to test the goals of its Facilities Master Plan as it prepares an updated version, Vice President for Administrative Affairs Ann Wylie wrote in an e-mail.

(Video) Police Attack U Md Student Bethany Stotts, April 15, 2010 At the University of Maryland an alleged case of student-on-police violence turned out to be quite the opposite, reported the Washington Post on April 13. Recently-released video footage instead shows three police officers in riot gear attacking an unarmed student. “Charging documents say [John J.] McKenna and [co-defendant Benjamin C.] Donat provoked the beating by attacking officers on horseback,” Ruben Castaneda writes for the Washington Post. “The video clearly shows the officers rushing McKenna and beating him, although the teenager had not touched any of the mounted units.” “The...

To be sure that we had a parking space close to the Comcast Center, [Mrs] T and I arrived around 7:20AM. And our timing worked. We got a spot within 500 feet of our protest of Obama’s speech at this liberal bastion of “education”. Attendees had already lined up waiting for the doors to open. And the media was all around just waiting to “media” someone. We were there to oblige. By our count, there was at least 15 different media outlets (domestic & foreign) interviewing the groups that eventually showed up. BELOW: Several media outlets waiting for us to...

President Obama's rally at the University of Maryland on Thursday was a highly choreographed campaign event that drew in college students and union members by the thousands. Instead of campaigning for an election, the President was campaigning for health care reform. Obama didn't quite fill the 18,000 seats in UMD's Comcast Center and appeared three hours later than the scheduled 9am start time. It didn't seem to bother the crowd, which performed "waves" around the stadium with their hands to the music of UMD's school band, which played hits like "Sweet Caroline," "Thriller," and "Let's Get Ready To Rumble." It...

BALTIMORE, November 24, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Though she had practiced the procedure as a student at the University of Maryland School of Medicine by scraping out a piece of fruit with razor-sharp abortion instruments, Lesley Wojcik learned that her training could never have prepared her for a real abortion. What caught her off-guard, says the second-year med student, was the brutality of a procedure that subjects women to extreme pain. In a Washington Post article detailing her journey to become an abortionist, Wojcik describes how during her first witnessed abortion, she recoiled in horror as the mother began letting out...

COLLEGE PARK, Md., Sept. 27 (AScribe Newswire) -- A growing American interest in Iranian language and culture is sparking an expansion on U.S. campuses of full-fledged Persian Studies programs, led by the University of Maryland and the Roshan Cultural Heritage Institute. The new emphasis reaches beyond geopolitical concerns to focus on language acquisition, literature and other aspects of Persian culture.

Gay Camp by: Malcolm A. Kline, August 15, 2007 To many cynical observers, “Gay Camp” may sound redundant but to the Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Community it is a summer retreat for campus activists. “I didn’t realize you could get paid to be what they’re calling a professional homo or working queer,” Ashleigh Ratchford, a junior at North Carolina A & T State University told The Chronicle of Higher Education’s Paula Wasley. Originally, Ratchford had planned on a career as an FBI agent but she may find campus politics more lucrative. “After all, [the University of Maryland at] College...

From a recent debate on college-level women’s studies courses, we get a glimpse of why graduates with that degree are hard to find, though such classes have become commonplace in most universities. “I’ve been waiting a long time to learn what a women’s studies degree does. My guess is it qualifies you for a future teaching women’s studies,” said Professor Mike Adams of University of North Carolina at Wilmington as the students laughed loudly and applauded the debaters. After a lengthy historical explanation of how women’s studies arose from women’s movements which were birthed by civil rights movements of blacks,...

The frantic 911 call from a University of Maryland dormitory came in at 6:32 a.m. June 19, 1986. A 22-year-old campus hero -- the finest basketball player in the Terrapins' history, just two days earlier the second player chosen in the NBA draft -- was sprawled on the floor between two narrow beds, unconscious, without a pulse. "It's Len Bias. . . . He's not breathing right," one of his closest friends, a Maryland dropout named Brian Tribble, told the dispatcher in a shaky voice. "You've got to bring him back to life." Bias was rushed to a hospital less...
