[Austin Willard Wright]

The College Republicans at Grand Valley State keep appeasing the administration and the administration responds by twisting the knife. Fortunately, there is one hero in this mess: Kyle Rausch.

"Decisions and consequences were made"

Who wrote this drivel? Consequences were made? Maybe they should worry a little bit more about teaching English than focusing on PCBS.

So a student group is forced to apologize for a symbolic representation of what the university itself does at +4 magnitude?

[muawiyah]

Sounds like the administrators of that particular school are all dumb as a board.

Since everybody knows the whole thing was about the school's "affirmative action" policies, and the cookie sale is a fair model for those policies, then their hand-picked management toadies on the Student Organization Review Board just bit their masters' hands!

I wouldn't apoligize to this bunch of klutzes for anything!

[Unam Sanctam]

The whole point is to show the ridiculousness of race-based classifications at the heart of affirmative action.

[ken21]

what state is this in?

[RushLake]

This is another shining example, UM being the brightest shining example, of why we need to cut the so called public universities in Michigan loose from the taxpayer's purse strings. They have all become UM wannabes that want to f#@k over anyone who doesn't think in lock step with the communist manifesto.

[fat city]

Kyle Rausch refuses to apologize for his opinions? Guess he can kiss his Senate career goodbye.

[NutCrackerBoy]

After bending over for 30 years to every campus radical, the university has finally found a backbone versus dissent. The secret ingredient was that the dissent just had to be right-wing.

Unbelievable.

[DeFault User]

This was much more about procedure than free speech, Burke said. The university supports free speech.

Yeah, about like Torquemada supported freedom of religion.

Didn't they get it wrong with the way they priced things at the bake sale? I thought it went something like........
make different flavors of cupcakes (or cookies)
sell them at different prices, based on the color of the CUPCAKE not the buyer!

This was done successfully at UC Berkeley and UC Davis.

[Enterprise]

Well, Comrade Kyle, welcome to re-education camp 1A - Fundamentals of Fascism.

[Junior_G]

The entire point of the bake sale is to point out the absurdity of discriminatory practices such as those touted as affirmative action. How any college Republican could apologize for that is beyond me.

[ken21]

someday maybe they'll just send them to reindoctrination camps.

[hardworking]

Come on now you smart Republican kids, surely you can come up with a clever marketing alternative. How about a bake sale where you charge the same price but hand out mail-in coupons that can be redeemed for a refund based on how the student chooses to fill out the refund request. Just give a bigger refund to anyone who checks the box next to 'minority'. That way you're not identifying anyone, just responding to how they fill out the 'application' for the refund. You know, like the university reviews applications for admission......

[Hodar]

I think the Alumni could send a very clear message. Simply state that with decisions such as this, the school should cease and desist all further contact for the solicitation of funds.

Will it change things? No, but if the college has a revenue stream cut off; a message certainly is going to get received.

[freespirited]

This from a state where the flagship university was giving minority applicants 20 extra points on the admissions scale solely for the color of their skin?

[Mongeaux]

I bet the bake sale was popular with the Stoners. In the grips of a bad case of the munchies the Potheads could get treats for free by claiming to be Native-American-Indian-American like Ward Churchill.

Do you think they had those crumbly date bars? I love those things...
