    Re: NDSU retirements

    Great point! College really is a very unique environment that provides opportunities that most would likely never have without attending.

    Re: NDSU retirements

    100% agree. The college experience challenges you to explore and discover your personal belief system and there aren't too many other places in our society that allow that to happen the way that it...

    Re: NDSU retirements

    Not at all what was said. What was said is that the overall public good is not served in any meaningful way if a large portion of the conservative electorate continues to paint college campuses as a...

    My misinformation isn’t being regurgitated all over this board in the form of memes and links to Fox News and Newsmax. I’m also not the one shitting all over the personal college experiences of...

    The only thing I’m trying to debate is that you’re very uninformed because you choose to be.

    Re: NDSU retirements

    I think there are news sources out there who present facts. Problem is too many people give credence to the ones who don’t who are denouncing the media. Based on the sources you often cite, that...

    Re: NDSU retirements

    That is not exclusive to the left. Your arguments fall flat because you conflate and exaggerate the evidence. Much the same way the media you so love to hate does.

    So doing the same thing as the lefty professors is your solution? Way to take the high road.

    So convincing conservative youth to avoid college serves what purpose in your mind?

    Also isn’t it perpetuating the problem when conservatives talk about our universities in such a way that makes conservative young people feel like they will be unwelcome on campus and not have a...

    So you’re advocating for some DEI initiatives? Seems like this student stood up for their beliefs and made the most of their experience.

    So campuses slant left, fine. Are conservatives not allowed? Are they required to change their beliefs? I just think fearing a left slant on campus is weak minded. Stand up for your beliefs and make...

    Fringe is fringe. What changed in our society that made Charlottesville or Jan. 6th happen? Don’t personally understand that level of zealotry either but we live in a free country and as long as...

    Based on election results the country slants left overall. Guess we should move elsewhere? Never claimed it didn’t slant left. Just think it’s ludicrous to make it more than it is. There is room in...

    In the case of NDSU and my daughter's experience specifically that has not been the case. Is it possible that that happens on certain campuses? Likely. I'm also certain that the discussions on the...

    I discuss this topic with my daughter frequently since she is on campus now. At NDSU at least, the amount of discussion regarding politics in the day to day curriculum is very limited. If you seek...

    But I'm sure the "indoctrination" that they have gotten at home, at church, at work, in their home communities is all completely different. People being exposed to differing viewpoints is essential...

    Absolutely. Confidence comes not just from success but also realizing that often times the worst failures are not near as bad as your mind makes you believe they will be.

    The common denominator of success is ambition, determination and investment in one’s self. Education doesn’t guarantee that. However, there are a lot of those things that are nurtured while obtaining...

    When I graduated from NDSU, my first job paid me $35K per year. My high school buddies who didn't attend college were making $20 per hour at that time. Which is $41K+ per year. Many of those same...
