The pro-life UNC-CH student group Carolina Students for Life are finally included in the Carolina Women’s Center’s web site and programming. However, the group was excluded for the second year from Women’s Week at the university.
Call off the dogs, leftist media — your relentless interrogation has broken us. We admit it. It really is just a big conspiracy. We’re prepared to spill all. This is our confession.
Free speech had already carried the day when a UNC-Chapel Hill instructor attacked a student by name in a classwide email. So why get the feds involved?
Two rival bills currently under discussion in the House of Representative Education and Workforce Committee would get the federal government involved in the debate regarding higher education tuition increases.
Here we go again. For the UNC system, a struggling economy means budget cuts. So we will be told, repeatedly. But this is by now a familiar process.
College students and administrators don’t know that the First Amendment protects religious liberty, according to survey results published in a report by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
The diversity movement was supposed to promote social harmony, but instead it has furthered racialist thinking, heightened identity-group balkanization, increased resentment, and nurtured a preposterous touchiness and sensitivity to perceived slights. It has also fostered a new generation ever seeking newer ways to divide people.

It’s not fair!”
It’s a UNC ritual.

When the little drama is over, the administrators will go back to their offices and hope that they’ve convinced a few more politicians that UNC-CH’s budget must be increased.
A student in Elyse Crystall’s “Literature and Cultural Diversity” class at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was accused of making “violent, heterosexist comments,” uttering “hate speech” and creating a “hostile environment” in class, according to an e-mail sent to all members of the class by the professor.
