Don't know what IUPUI is now-a-days, but I was less than $10K / year full-time "back in the day". Don't recall much in the way of indoctrination, but I was in the Sciences (not Liberal Arts or such).

I have a nephew that is a college student. We have polite political discussions online as I am trying to figure out why he is such an ardent Bernie fan. He sees absolutely no contradiction whatsoever in proclaiming himself a lover of individual freedom and democratic socialism. There isn't any point in arguing with him either; you could quote everything ever written about the dangers of large government and he would agree with it all, and then declare that Bernie is the only answer.

Because they can never imagine "the shoe being on the other foot".
They can imagine that this or that policy will help THEM, RIGHT NOW.
They CAN NOT imagine that later the policy can be used against them.

I know a Ford worker, always talks about small government, but everything he says is big government.
I tried to tell him, to someone working two minimum wage jobs, a person working at Ford is RICH.
And if you can take from the rich, they can take from you.
Or, since America is basically the top 1 percent of the world, let's give everything we have to the rest of the world.
But... he can not grasp that concept.

Greed and covetousness are wonderful attributes.

The concept that I don't want anything of yours is totally foreign to most these days. We need to admit that we are dinosaurs and nearing extinction. Our children and grandchildren will live in a world that we will not recognize.

Sadly I also see this.

I Obama's case, it's symbolic, in the case of the others, it's a location.

Does anyone think that Reagan admired Lenin, Nixon- Mao, GW Bush- Ho Chi Minh or GHW Bush- Mao? No. it's ridiculous because we knew what these men stoof for, vis-a-vis, communism.

Sure, Obama stands in a location chosen by the host, like the others....the difference? We're not so sure just how anti-communist or anti-totalitarian Obama is (and that's me being generous) and we are quite certain many Obama supporters openly endorse Che, even though they may not really know what he stood for.

In other words, for the other presidents, it was just a location, for Obama, it gives us pause because he gives us pause when we try to discern what he really​ thinks about Che.

Illegal Alien go to school for free don't they?

Not yet. That's why they'll be voting for Bernie.

Meh. All back water, fly over country, substandard schools.

Valpo was less than half that, quite a bit less than half, when I went (graduated 18 years ago). My wife put me through.

... Whaaaat

Man who shot Gabby Giffords sues her for $25M

The man who shot former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords announced Wednesday he is suing her for emotional and psychological distress he suffered as a result of his shooting rampage.

Jared Lee Loughner, who is currently in prison after being convicted of killing six people and injuring 13 others in the January 2011 Tucson incident, has demanded Giffords and the Federal Bureau of Prisons pay him $25 million in compensation.

Let's award him the 25 million, just seconds before he takes a bullet to the noodle.

Emory Students Express Discontent With Administrative Response to Trump Chalkings | The Emory Wheel

Students protest after pro-Trump slogans were written in chalk on campus. Report feeling "afraid" and one quoted student compared the presence of the messages to a swastika found graffitied in 2014.

I know that the fact people we don't like can run for office can be alarming to some special snowflakes. I'm sorry that elections are scary for you. Perhaps you should just sit this one out if the idea that people you don't agree with having a voice in society is just too much for you to bear.

I already know the answer, but don't any of these people have a clue what they are doing to their future employability or the employability of others from their universities?

I would be thrown off campus and probably jailed for calling them a bunch of lady parts.

Come to Valpo Law, closer to $40,000 with less indoctrination (c'mon, there can't be NONE) and you might get HoughMade for a prof if you care about medical ethics and bio-ethics.

Of course, Valpo grads have a tendency to make decent livings rather than extravagant livings and drive 3 and 5 series BMWs instead of S class Mercedes (and then only after 10+ years of practice), but it seems like a small sacrifice.
