Here’s another sign that the forces of justice and truth at Columbia are not flagging. A friend and former intern who is an undergrad there forwarded an email sent around by the College Republicans. They propose — er, sorry, demand — they’re hip to the spirit of the moment — the following:
We demand:
1. Administrative Reform: Mandatory, all-day “Don’t rush the stage” training for all incoming students and faculty.
2. Conservative Studies: The hiring of 12 conservative professors.
3. Expansion into Harlem: Columbia expansion from 114th street to Baker Field.
4. Core Curriculum: An amendment to the Columbia charter to protect the ideals of the Core.
or else…
well, nothing.
Hunger strike and direct action are not legitimate forms of campus discourse. Join the College Republicans this Wednesday 12 – 3 on Low Steps to *gasp* eat, drink,
voice your opposition to the strike and talk about the issues important to you.
