"This is a powerful foundation on which we’re sitting – a powerful foundation on which to build from. It’s something all of you should be proud of for the contributions you have made through interactions with students, and for the way the institution projects itself. I can say I’m not surprised by that, but I am surprised by the intensity of that positive feeling. I find the morale at this university to be among the highest of any institution I’ve either been at or visited or talked with others about. The general sense within the institution is positive and constructive, with a strong willingness to work together. This remains a university interested in being a community, a university interested in being connected to each other within the intellectual community. I consider that to be very, very positive."
and this...
"In another few months, the NIH will have doubled their budget in Washington to roughly $30 billion a year of new funding for social, physical, life, and behavior sciences. These are things a lot of folks here are interested in. There is a tremendous amount of new opportunity."
Looks like Dubyuh's NIH budget-makers might have a stake in this fight...then, finally, this...
"We must be an institution built around openness and access to our learning environment for all. Whatever we’re doing, the energy we create, the creativity that we stimulate, the teaching we do, if we sequester it, hold it inside, protect it, if we wall it off, it’s greatly diminished. We have to find ways to be as open and as accessible as we can and, at the same time, not be overwhelmed or moved to the arena of ineffectiveness. So, no matter what you hear me say or do, these are the things that drive me. If it looks like I’m drifting off these principles, I expect to be held to task, I expect to be held to these principles."
Looks like President Crow needs to be held to task, my FRiends...MUD
This editorial is proof that education is getting too much public funds.
Excerpt:
Shanna Bowman, vice president of activities for the ASU student government, and Oubai Shahbandar, her chief-of-staff, are the first student government leaders at ASU to advocate a balanced lecture program. They have invited several well known conservatives to counter the leftist speakers the administration has sponsored, including Cornel West, Mary Frances Berry, Morris Dees, and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Because of Bowman's and Shahbandar's belief in offering students a chance to hear conservative ideas on their campus, leftist groups, including the Young Democrats and Democratic Socialists, the Progressive Alliance, the ASU chapter of the ACLU, and the Minority Coalitions, which includes the Women's Coalition, the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgendered/Questioning Lambda League, the Asian Coalition, the American Indian Coalition, and El Concillio, have used endless dirty tricks to remove them from their positions with student government.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy. 
How come they always "increase diversity" by squashing opposing views? They should all buy brown shirts so that they all fit together. Just think, the Student Association all wearing brown shirts. They could just call themselves the brown shirts, or the SA for short...
The times change but the wickedness never change. (Or same Sh** different day)
That's one of the oldest tactics of the Left, to declare that the political spectrum runs from Naziism on the Far Right to Communism on the Far Left. That way they can cast themselves as middle-of-the-road, i.e. "mainstream". The fallacy in this is that their whole spectrum is Socialist.
The true spectrum is Anarchy to the extreme Right, and Totalitarianism to the extreme Left. Naziism and Communism fall quite a bit to the Left of center under a realistic view.
I would say that true Conservatism occupies a position fairly close to the middle of the true spectrum, maybe a little to the Right of the mid-point, balancing the need for individual liberty with the need for government to keep the peace and protect its citizens in appropriate ways.
Yup. Based in Montgomery, Alabama.
Because diversity is a code-word. It doesn't mean what most people think it means. "Diveristy" and Inclusion" mean just the opposite: inclusion is really excluding anyone who doesn't agree with them, and diversity means making sure that all opposing viewpoints are squelched, and that there is no moral assessment attached to anything or anyone. Inclusion is divisive, and diversity is monolithic.
Another catch-phrase is "it's for the children", which really means it's for more government control over the people. The Left are masters at taking words and phrases, twisting their true meanings, and fooling the public into believeing they are for one thing when they are actively trying to bring about the opposite.
