IF YOU WANT TO HAVE AN IMPACT, GO TO STATE LEGISLATORS AND ASK FOR THEIR BUDGET TO BE CUT: ‘Great god of political correctness’ under fire at UMN.

Two students filed a civil rights complaint against the University of Minnesota for misuse of student fees and “worship[ing] the great god of political correctness.” Along with a student group called Viewpoint Neutrality Now!, students Evan Smith and Isaac Smith claim student fees being used to fund nine cultural centers in Coffman Union with subsidized space is unconstitutional, reported the Minnesota Daily.

Viewpoint Neutrality Now! is not officially recognized as a campus organization at UMN, but it is an association of students who pay student fees and “support and advocate for viewpoint neutrality and other reforms.” The students say that the current system has offered “preferential treatment” to nine cultural groups receiving student fees in that they are offered free lounge space in the student union.

Legislators will be looking for things to cut. Student-life bureaucracies should be an easy target.
