Letter to the Editor: Win or lose, McBride abandoned diversity goals by campaigning

Monday, March 21, 2011

In a piece for American Way of Life (AWOL), writer Ashley Dejean wrote about the lack of diversity in student government on campus. She very accurately noted that SG has become a “Boy’s Club” and that, “At the executive level, the gap is far from closed. For the past three years, the Student Government President has been a straight white male from the School of Public Affairs Leadership Program.” This seemed to be the largest area of concern in the article, and with the upcoming SG presidential election, this school now has the opportunity to respond to the concerns raised in Dejean’s article.

By Conor Shapiro | March 14

You’re starving. You walk briskly to grab a sandwich at Subway to satisfy your craving. You’ve got less than 10 minutes to request extra tomatoes, endure the disorganized queue for the toaster and scour the rack below for spicy Doritos. You’re antsy.
