<p>SU Moves to the liberal left – no longer the politically independent school it once was!</p>

<p>Twenty years ago or even ten years ago, Syracuse was well respected and known for its rich traditions, competitive currilicums, competitive sports programs and was independent and maintained a politically neutral stance. Students received a quality education without indoctrination, but as they say “all good things must come to an end”.</p>

<p>Today the Syracuse Board of Trustees has a vastly different makeup. The Board of Trustees sets the school’s agenda, hires the Chancellor, and makes the school’s policy decisions. You can learn a lot about the ideology of the school’s leadership once you understand their political affiliation and corresponding political contributions.</p>

<p>Given the overwhelming one-sidedness of the Chancellor’s and the Board’s liberal democrat affiliations, you can easily understand and not be surprised that Syracuse University has moved decidedly to the left.</p>

<p>Over the past several years actions and decisions made by Syracuse University (the Board of Trustees and Nancy Cantor) clearly show that the ideology of the university’s leadership has influenced the school.</p>

<p>Controversial and politically motivated actions by Syracuse University Leadership 2003-2010:</p>

<pre><code>* Nancy Cantor Hired as Chancellor in 2004
* Chancellor Nancy Cantor’s defense and lack of action in response to SU professor Boyce Watkin’s radical hate speech – This radical professor continues to work at the university

<p>Parents and students must realize and understand that SU has changed. Parents must understand that their hard earned money for tuition ($250K over 4 years) is not going just for “education” anymore. It is used as a platform for the SU's liberal leaders to push their agendas, policies, propaganda, political objectives and indoctrinate students.</p>

<p>Bottom Line;Syracuse has changed.. It has been built up ..Campus is ugly now over crowded, crime is way up. campus way far left of cewnter, very cold nasty winters. Marshall street not what it used to be. no real alumni support beyond activist liberal alumni, socialistic policies... academics ???</p>

<p>Thanks for the update. It’s like visiting a sausage factory. No college is perfect, internal politics, etc. Plus, the simply fact is that political correctness and liberal attitudes are part and parcel of academia. You just have to give your children YOUR values and everything usually works out ok. Plus, the college years about questioning everything you learned at home, not till they are in the real world, can they put it all together.</p>

<p>sukoolaid:so what is your point, really? and besides that, you don’t sound like a college student, more like an angry conservative dad</p>

<p>If you google a piece of the text in this thread the entire thing comes up in several other websites, so I think this person has more of an affinity with Syracuse University than anything else.</p>
