a vote in response to customer concerns seems normal to me.The Board of Trustees is expected to vote on the matter during a meeting next month.
another example of a hyper-partisan trying to rabble-rouse over nothing.Another perfect example of liberalism trying to control private organizations on what they can and cannot do.
what part of "vote" and "private institution" do you not get?What part of Trinity do these students not get?
A group of students at Trinity University in Texas wants the Christian-rooted school to remove the words "Our Lord" from their diplomas, the Houston Chronicle reported.
"A diploma is a very personal item, and people want to proudly display it in their offices and homes,” Sidra Qureshi, president of Trinity Diversity Connection, told the Chronicle. “By having the phrase ‘In the Year of Our Lord,' it is directly referencing Jesus Christ, and not everyone believes in Jesus Christ."
Qureshi, a Muslim student at the school, is leading the campaign to remove the words. The Board of Trustees is expected to vote on the matter during a meeting next month.

Some liberals (the real ones) support keeping religion in public schools. They understand the value of pluralism and import of contrasting viewpoints and carry not the small-minded conspiratorial fears of a right-wing plan to convert the masses through public education.Some conservatives (the real ones) support keeping religion out of public schools. They don't want the government teaching religion.

What part of Trinity do these students not get?
They aren't suing, they aren't bitching to the government, and they aren't being unreasonable. They're starting a local grass-roots effort to change minds on this issue.
In other words, Trinity College is essentially a business, these students are essentially their customers, and the customers are asking for a change in how they are served.
Since when was this liberalism and not free-market capitalism?
Since when has it become mamby-pamby whiny-bitchy complaining to stand up for what you think is right, and to convince others in similar circumstances to join your cause?
Since when isn't that the American way?
Since you disagreed with it, I guess. :lol:
Since when do "customers" go to the school for 4 years, then bitch and moan about 2 words at the school they are "customers" for, while never taking into consideration that they are at TRINITY UNIVERSTIY!!!!
Did they wake up at the age of 22 and say "Oh look, we have been going to a Christian school for 4 years. Did you know this? We should tell someone. Yeah! Lets stick it to the college we didn't know we were attending for 48 months!":rofl
Next they are going to go to mass and cry, piss, and moan that the priest is talking about God.:doh
Why do people try and rationalzie stupidity like this?

College Students Will Soon Graduate and Discover More Pressing Life Concerns Such as Feeding Themselves
Removing all religion from schools, colleges and public areas is strictly a liberal cause.

The school should do what it wants, but really, why do so many people have to get caught up in crap like this? It's a throw away phrase.
Already explained it twice. Please read the thread.
It's a private Christian school. They can fight the system, but be prepared to lose.
....so a Muslim student, wanting to remove the word 'God' from the diplomas of the school means this is the fault of liberalism? Are you really this intellectually dishonest? Or are you pretending to be?
Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventieth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the twelfth.
Boldness added for emphasis by me.
This university has every right as a private institution to put "In the year of our Lord" on their diplomas, I would also argue that it's perfectly fine for state universities to do this too. America's most public document (The Constitution) has the exact words written in it :mrgreen:
I think the key is removing that phrase is a small step toward the lowering of morals. Plus I feel it has historical significance. They are there to LEARN. Not to complain about these types of things.
Look..... children in college should NOT be able to change the rules or regulations of a school. They are children that really have no life experiences. They can bitch and moan like all the generations before them on changing the school they are going to but they really should have zero influence there.
I think most liberals are pretty reasonable in terms of religion in public schools. Only the most fringe element want to remove the words "under god" from the pledge..., most of us have no problem with religious based clubs and so forth.

I couldn't disagree more. As a student if my school is doing something that I don't feel is right as a student it is my responsibility to inform them of my opinion. As students we changed the rule that only 50 pages per semester could be printed from school printer for free, after that it was 12 cents per page. We wanted it to be 200 because a lot of our reading assignments are online and we are always told to bring them to class for discussion purposes. We got it changed to 100 pages per semester and the school is looking at what else they can do to help us.
As student it is our responsibility to inform the school what we think it wrong with it so they can make it better.
