Commies at my alma mater? Valparaiso Univ. and the CCP?

[HoughMade]

I mean, I met a communist or two in law school, but every law school has them. This is all news to me.

Good thing you didn't go to IU.

Good thing you didn't go to IU.

Isn't genderqueer stalinist 101 a prerequisite for attending IU?

Good thing you didn't go to IU.

Working there for 30 years was bad enough. Luckily, I was far enough from the main campus to not be indoctrinated.

I believe they have a PHD program for that through SPEA now.

Did You Know? Confucius Institutes Disappearing from American Campuses — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

After years of expansion, Communist Party-funded Confucius Institutes have seen the tide turn against them at American colleges. The Institutes, controlled by the Chinese government, were created to teach Chinese … Continue reading "Did You Know? Confucius Institutes Disappearing from American...

Indiana Closes Confucius Institute

Indiana University is the latest university to announce the closure of its Confucius Institute. Indiana said closing the institute at its Indianapolis campus would ensure the continuation of IU’s Defense Department-funded Chinese Language Flagship program. The defense spending law passed last...

Playing the long game using the rules we've setup.
And I like those rules, but it also means the people have to hold the reins and lead the horse.

False advertising is more than just the "Subway footlong" style...

I graduated from IU in '16 and one of my best friends was a Chinese student. He came from a Party family and was super up front about it; IU was FULL of CCP people reporting home on all kinds of stuff. They've been targeting US universities for years and years..

I guess it's a good thing that the VU law school no longer exists. As an aside, in the last several years I taught a class there, we could have used a few more CCP students. At least there would have been someone there with brains and a work ethic.

They are very driven to dominate the world, while I see very few young Americans that want to lead the world...

And it is the previous generations fault, they raised the kids, or were supposed to...

You'll get no argument from me.

Yikes, I had heard Valpo was circling the drain for 10 years before it closed.

After about 2007ish, it was all about more students and more $$. The "quality" of the average student plummeted. There were still some smart ones, but the worse it got, the more those students wanted to be elsewhere. It used to be a respected regional school. I would wager that close to most, if not most of the Region lawyers went there. Now, even I, an alum, would have to be convinced to hire a Valpo grad after 2010. Heck, I'm the only one at my firm and it took me 15 years of reputation to be invited onboard.

Very sad, and now you have communists.

 

[BugI02]

I'm more concerned about his statement that all law schools have communists

Do cult of personality authoritarian autocracies actually need lawyers, considering they lack any sort of rule of law?

 

[AtTheMurph]

Good thing you didn't go to IU.

Better that he didn't go to the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Puts every other university to shame except for perhaps UC Berkeley and even then I am not so sure.

 

[d.kaufman]

Know it doesn't really pertain but I
Seen VU has dropped the "Crusaders" nickname now too. They say it's a derogatory term used by "hate groups" They are now the "Beacons"

I dated a girl in the late 90's who went there. They were liberal as heck even then.

I started at the law school in 1995. The law school and the rest university always had some level of separation, but it was made very clear to us early on that just because the university was associated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, have no fear as whatever those pesky Christians believed would not have anything to do with out education. As time went on, it became obvious that over on the undergrad side, it was just as liberal as any other pricy, liberal arts university. There are those who study religion there...and some of them wanted to be good ministers, but over time, the theology became more and more liberal, following the politics.

That they would be open and welcoming to a group so closely aligned with the CCP doesn't really shock me as they would probably be uber-scared that they may offend someone by taking a strong stance against....authoritarian communists.

When he says "Ants", think "Commies"
