<p>I need to write a short essay on a controversial issue on college campuses, and a solution to the issue. Any ideas on some controversial issues?</p>
<p>At GA. Tech fairly recently, one conservative club wanted to post signs/protest gays on campus. The school intervened and told them that they couldn't do that (that it violated school policy concerning acts of descrimination)- they fought it on the grounds of free speech. I'm not sure how this was resolved, but you might do a search to find some of the news articles.</p>
<p>Well, besides affirmative action or parts of the admissions process,</p>
<p>(I mostly only know about ASU, but Im sure that these issues carry on to other campuses)
- At ASU last year, some guy created a Caucasian Club, theres probably some articles on it.
- How school rivalries are taken too far (UofA painting a red A on ASU's mountain ruining priceless native american hieroglyphics)</p>
<p>And then some general ones:
- Financial aid/'need-blind' schools
- Advising
- Like the poster above, discrimination
- Liberal vs. Conservative professors</p>
<p>Things like that.</p>
<p>Hah, Caucasian Club. Sounds perfectly fair to me. Why should the right to make "racially"/ ethnically based clubs fall solely to non-Caucasian groups? If the Caucasian club doesn't preach hate-speech, why not? I personally think RBCs and EBCs cause more division and resentment than harmony under the surface, but in this case, the playing field is leveled out.</p>
<p>P.S. I'm going to look up this club, and I'm saying this as a multi-racial American young adult.</p>
<p>plagiarism, both by students and professors (just be careful not to broad-brush insult all professors, or students, for the sins of a few)</p>
<p>gay couples who can share a campus room officially together, while straight couples can't</p>
<p>read the "Class Divide" thread this week on CC, re:Amherst College, if you're applying to an elite school. The issue: why are middle class families underrepresented (14%) at elite colleges (more are poor or wealthy).
even though most of the country is middle class.</p>
<p>As for solving these...hey, that's YOUR essay!!!</p>
