Alfred University- ART Students MADE to go to yesterdays protest!!!!!

[2WheelGnnr]

so my sons at alfred university. he said there was not a HUGE presence there and most people that left class 10 min early as the protest was at 10:00am and classes get out at 10:10... anyways..just left at 10 and went HOME.

But anyways he just called again to say that the ART students were told they HAD to participated in the Rally or it would impact negatively on their grade!!

So teachers/professor making student participate in a rally....even it was to teach about our constitution or whatever we are talking the art students....here draw an apple and go to this rally or else....

CMON really....stick to drawing fruit and stay out of politics and make students do something they dont want to do potentially......

He has a roommate and a freind thats in the art program and they were made to participate ie stand there. Thats F***ked up!!!!

Heard this from my son yesterday. He is in the engineering program at AU.

Those profs who threatened a grade reduction should be fired. Period. That is completely unethical for teachers to blackmail their students for any gain, let alone political.

I read your post yesterday. Im writing student affairs right now about how they administration is pushed their students to participate in an agenda that may or may not align with their personal beleifs and basing part of their grade on it. BULLCRAP...I dont pay that school to mold my kids on social and political beleifs.....advising that they stick to drawing fruit!!!!! and teaching kids to draw fruit!!!!

IM actually and seriously pissed my this....making them be exposed to this crap. I guess my son lives near the bell tower and said it all was pretty lame and not much talking or what not but still..............Thats just me. my son is Phsych so wasnt made to go and didnt but whatever...GOD im pissed by it all.

my other son went to Princeton and they didnt even make political science students do stuff like this and attend ralleys or protests to somehow teach the workings of the constituion or whatever.

Our kids should hook up and go shooting.

really my son always wants to shoot when he's home on break......He wanted to so badly to be introduced to skeet after he head me and brother were shooting skeet in the backyard........all field behind us.... so no neighbors were harmed in the making of this shooting event.

he didnt seem to like it too much I gather as pretty quicklyl was dont and wanted to shoot the .22 rifle at targets..... hehehe

Im working on a "strongly worded letter" to the vice president of student affairs about this and I should CC college president in on it as well.

I mean who are these professors to tell students they have to go....even if not participating there presences sends a message of support.....

Write your reps about it too. Is Alfred a private school? It would carry more weight if Alfred was state funded, but still...

Good for you, and everyone that has a child going to the school should be writing the school administration and pushing for the professor's to be fired that threatened grade reductions.

Good. Media should be alerted to this as well.

 

[2WheelGnnr]

yeah there is a state side across the street and the university side that is private.

None of them are really private, a lot of government funds pour into even the most private university.

There is Alfred University and Alfred State College. They're across the street from each other, and comprise about 90% of the towns population between the two when schools in session.

Alfred University is is host to the College of Ceramics, which is a state sponsored college.

Art Students. They're all weird there. We could smell Harder Hall from pretty much anywhere on campus in the summer months when there was a gentle breeze....

Sounds like there are two kids here at the same school .. maybe they should start a pro gun walk out and then sue after being told no they can't ..

Good for you. Do it. This is what needs to be done.

That is garbage and a protest is not part of your grade. I would have refused to go and whatever happened happened. I would have fought it afterwards. Go figure it’s a liberal art professor. You’d be surprised sometimes who is progun. My sons school counselor talks about being a card carrying nra member while in his meetings.
