If it wasn't for double-standards, Liberals would have no standards at all.

Wells has changed over the years.
When I attended, the student body was indeed MUCH more conservative than the faculty, but even 20+ years ago, I could see where things were heading.
I'm not surprised to hear about this controversy.
Regards,
PS: At least 3/4 of these campus organizations did not exist when I was there.

Sorry 'bout that - little more reading and BAM I got my answer.

LOL, and too true.

You can email Wells College President Lisa Marsh Ryerson at
president@wells.edu. As mentioned, for the sake of the Wells Republicans I'd ask people to be civil and respectful.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
I only want an answer to the below.
President Ryerson,
Am I to understand that in a meeting with the Wells Republicans you informed them it wasn't clear that intellectual and political diversity were what the college had in mind when they touted their commitment to diversity?
Regards,
Keath Huff

My email:
Dear Dr. Ryerson:
It has come to my attention that your school refuses to allow a Republican Club even though it does have a Democrat club ("Wells Democrats").
As a taxpayer, I object to this clear violation of free-speech rights subsidized by my tax dollars (the fact that you have your students submit a FAFSA tells me this). It also casts a grave shadow over alumnae from your institution and the value of a Wells education. This certainly will weigh heavily in my mind when I am evaluating job applicants from Wells -- something I must do from time to time.
I respectfully suggest that you cease discrimination at your school, less your federal funding be reviewed and your school's degrees be rendered suspect.
Thank you for your attention

It'll be interesting to see what if any response you receive!
To: All
Do these people actually expect me to pay for the "higher education" they offer for my daughter at their socialistic institutes of liberal brainwashing?
It must be nice to work for a non-drug-free-workplace!

Nice work. By the way, what's a FAFSA?
To: sarasmom
I think many parents are negligent in not researching the situation at the schools to which they send their children. Others simply don't care, as long as the college is sufficiently "prestigious", etc.

this crap really ticks me off - the hypocrisy alone can drive you mad

Federal Application for Financial Student Aid
(or something similar). Its what you use to request Federal Financial Aid.
I used to work at a University.

But, what kind of 'direct service' eliminates hetrosexism? It probably involves a tub of crisco and some rubber sheets

The Wells Republicans are an incredibly dynamic, feisty bunch. In addition to their faculty diversity study, at the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom they set up a Wall of Honor on campus. They've brought in GOP speakers, worked on campaigns. An all-around great group. It is an absolute travesty that they have been denied representation.You go Republican Girls!!!!! I'll send you the money that I won't send to my fellow alumnae association. Tell me where to sign the check!! Outstanding work!!!

Thanks. Even though Wells is a private college, they surely receive all sorts of federal grants, etc. Oh, and guess who showed up to talk on campus this fall?

DEMOCRATS BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH ONLY WHEN YOU HUMBLY AGREE WITH EVERY LIE THEY BABBLE Hey, that would make a great bumper sticker! I live in a college town and see all kinds of wierd sayings on the backs of cars. It would be nice to have something on the back of my SUV that actually made someone think.
To: freedumb2003
I would also bring this to the local upstate NY Republican Party. They will be irate that tax dollars are subsidizing the rats and that republicans find such blatant discrimination at this lock step, mind-numbed robot campus.
The pubbies can mobilize the removal of federal funds to this benighted backwater campus.

what's a FAFSA?An application form the government has you fill out before they tell you that you do not qualify for any financial aid for your college student and that you should be able to pay more than half your annual net income for your child to get an education that will qualify her to work as a teacher in the public schools.
