The Top 5 Campus Outrages of 2005<2>
Pat Buchanan tried to express his views at Western Michigan; he certainly didn't deserve a face full of salad dressing. Matt Hall tried to
bring new ideas to campus, and he deserved a lot better, too -- especially from a professor.Office 2010 is powerful!
#2: Mankato State University's student government shakedown. Some administrators will go so far as to put a student's academic career in
jeopardy to advance an agenda. Just ask Adam Weigold of Minnesota's Mankato State University.
An outspoken campus conservative, Weigold ran into trouble when he won the student government presidency. Some administrators expressed visio 2010
concern his cabinet wouldn't be "multicultural" enough. Then the university applied some academic policies retroactively -- punishing Weigold
for semesters that had been considered perfectly acceptable until the new policies went into place Microsoft visio 2010
-- and placed him on academic suspension.
Showing all the subtlety of Michael Corleone, administration officials told Weigold any official appeal would be rejected and encouraged him
to resign his position as student body president. They gave him an administrative run-around and microsoft project 2010
even mocked his beliefs as a born-again
Christian, telling that the suspension would be a good time to do mission work.

suspension and simply punish political speech directly.
Steven Bierfeldt wanted to educate students at Siena College in upstate New York about the Catholic Church's views on homosexual behavior. So
he posted relevant Bible verses pertaining to the subject on flyers around campus.Microsoft outlook 2010 is powerful.
One would think that at a Catholic college, Biblical discussions are fair game. The administration disagreed when the head of the gay and
lesbian student group filed judicial charges against Bierfeldt for posting the flyers.Windows 7 is convenient!
For the crime of posting Bible verses, the nominally Catholic Siena administration suspended Bierfeldt from campus until the offended student
graduated or left (she was, at the time, a graduating senior).Microsoft outlook is convenient!
The suspension negated all Bierfeldt's credits for the Spring 2005 semester. And, not surprisingly, Steve didn't get his tuition check for
that semester back.
Steve has since transferred. Siena has yet to apologize.Microsoft outlook 2010 is convenient!
