Activism nonexistent at ULV

When the nation’s president was tested in front of Congress for his sexual relations, the University of La Verne campus acted as though it had no opinion. Then when the state of California was voting on rights for same sex marriage laws, the student body was silent. Even now with the world in chaos over what might happen next with the recent terrorist attacks, the campus has nothing to say.

We are among the apathetic, uncaring and disinterested. We go to school at the University of “I do not care about social, political, economic issues.” This school prides itself on being a diverse community, on being racially and ethnically diverse, on being open and accepting. But where are the groups on campus that voice the opinions of these people?

Where are the groups that represent the liberal Democrats? Or the conservative Republicans? Where are all the pro-active organizations?

Why are these clubs not already in existence?

It is appalling to know that the students of the University do not have forums to speak about current issues, or to debrief about recent events. Investing time and thought into a cause could potentially lead to social justice; this is what our students need in preparation for graduation.

Do students attending the University find interest in events, issues, organizations other than those that meet every Tuesday night at various bars and clubs that serve beer to minors?
