Point-Counterpoint: CSU Privatization
By
The typical student views his or her higher education experience as a right rather than a privilege. When I have criticized certain classroom policies in the past, other students have often told me to view college as a blessing rather than a "product.
CSU's speech policies leave too much room for interpretation
By
Several weeks ago, I described the state of free speech at CSU. This month, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a national non-profit that monitors the state of free speech on college campuses, once again surveyed CSU's policies and gave our university a "yellow light," meaning there's still on the books "at least one ambiguous policy that too easily encourages administrative abuse and arbitrary application.

Have you ever been saddened to see an animal get mistreated? Have you ever gotten angry at all the trees being cut down? Now, have you ever driven a car?

If you answered yes to questions from both of these paragraphs, then you're a hypocrite.

Over the summer, Faculty Council passed a resolution that requested the administration draft a stricter weapons policy for CSU.
