Towards Voluntaryism (Part 11)

V11.JPG

There are a number of concrete steps that can be taken by members of the general public to reform college and university campuses, even if they have no association with the campus. As a taxpayer, your tax dollars go to supporting these universities, you have every right to voice your displeasure at any actions or behaviors occuring on college campuses or public schools. This may even apply to private colleges, which receive government subsidies or provide government loans to students.

None of the following shall be construed to constitute legal or financial advice.

What Can I Do as a Member of the General Public? (1)

  • 1A. Organize with like-minded individuals who are aware of the problems facing higher education today or have children who may one day want to go to college. Create a watch group focusing on your local institution of higher education.

  • 1B. Begin following affairs on the local university campus. Subscribe to the university newpaper(s). Set up a dedicated email account and get on every mailing list by the various clubs and activist groups on campus possible.

  • 1C. Catalogue unethical and illegal activities on the local campus. Note the faculty and staff that promote, condone or tacitly accept such behavior.

  • 1D. Become familiar with the tenets of Cultural Marxism and postmodernist academic inquiry and create a list of supporters and advocates on your local campus with specific examples of such behavior if possible.

  • 1E. Catalogue faculty and staff advocating anti-science and social justice discrimination against any sex, gender, ethnicity etc., document specific examples of such behavior.

  • 1F. Where possible participate in public lectures, presentations and events put on by those in points c, d & e. Record any activities that are illegal, clearly anti-science or unduly push a social or political agenda.

  • 1G. If an alumni, become part of the alumni association to have greater access to and information about university affairs. The alumni association also enables increased access to university functionaries.

  • 1H. Initiate active and persistent contact with the University President, Board of Trustees, State Legislature (Speaker of), and State Governor's office regarding any undesirable behavior at state universities. Be loud and be persistent. Provide any and all evidence of discriminatory or undesirable behavior via registered mail or confirmation-mandatory e-mail so they cannot claim ignorance. Renew contact regularly until the situation has been adequately addressed.

  • 1I. Once engaged with university functionaries, get all communications in writing or record them. Remember to inform your interlocutor on the phone or in person if you record a conversation (prior to the conversation beginning) so that it can be admissible in court if necessary. If (when) your interlocutor refuses to be recorded, ask why if they are fulfilling a public institution function, should they refuse to be recorded.

  • 1J. Get the university charter, constitution, rules and regulations and familiarize yourself with them. Any behavior that transgresses or fails to uphold such guidelines should be documented and submitted to the University President, Board of Trustees, State Legislature and State Governor's office via registered mail.

  • 1K. Do not be hesitant to engage a lawyer to draft letters of complaint with reference to any illegal behavior so as to ensure you do not make yourself subject to slander or libel laws. Send copies of the letter to the department head, the dean of the school, all members of the University Senate, all members of the Board of Trustees, the University President, the Head of Human Resources, the university newspaper, the local newspaper, the state newspaper, the internet platform Campus Reform, The College Fix and any other venue you may deem appropriate. If you go this route, be aware that you must have all your ducks in a row, this will result in a total shit-storm. See also point G of "What Can I Do as a Member of the the Student Body?"

  • 1L. Pursue the goal of making the advocates of radical ideologies and accomplices of illegal activities bear the consequences of their actions. Those holding views divergent from the radical left extremism common on campus today have literally been driven from their jobs for having a different opinion than the orthodoxy of the radical ideologues. It is time to demonstrate the truism of "what comes around, goes around."

  • 1M. If a donating alumni who can no longer abide the behavior of university faculty, staff or students, publicly declare your withdrawal of support in written form with copies sent to local, regional and national news outlets (see point 2G below for a more exhaustive list of outlets to send a letter to) via registered mail. Mention the specific amount of money you have donated to the university since you graduated and the amount the university will not be receiving until such time as the situation causing your withdrawal of support are resolved (e.g. faculty fired, administrators dismissed, specific programs discontinued, etc.), state the specific criteria for reinstating support. Name names if possible.

  • 1N. Submit courses for consideration to Jordan Peterson's Web Project designed to out postmodernist Marxist ideologues on campus and actively protest subjectivist fantasticism masquerading as objectivity. Unfortunately, Jordan B. Peterson has withdrawn his plan to create a machine-learning platform to recognize and catalogue courses where Cultural Marxist ideology is presented as academic study. Work can be done in this direction.

  • 1O. If a business owner: Inform the local university (anonymously if need be) how their policies affect the local economy and the suitability of students to enter the workforce (entitled safe-space identity-politics Antifa communists don't make particularly industrious employees). The ideas that students adopt during their studies follows them into the workplace. The dominant ideology currently being preached is that everyone is a victim of some kind and capitalists (i.e. business owners) are oppressive hate mongers. Send that letter to the local newspaper, the school paper, etc.

  • 1P. Find out how to get on your local college or university board of trustees and engage directly. Advance yourself or a like-minded advocate of rational thought for any open positions or candidacies. If possible, focus on becoming the chair of a Board of Trustee's committee, with the most valuable being the Committees of Program Development, Human Resources and Budgeting.

  • 1Q. Sign up for a class or two so you can have a front row seat to the action, pay special attention to the summer programs which target prospective students who are frequently minors. As a member of the general public, a single class at a state university may set you back a few hundred dollars, or even less for seniors, but it will inevitably be interesting and an excellent opportunity observe sociopolitical engineering in the classroom. As a non-degree seeking student, you don't have to worry about grades and can enjoy the (supposed) intellectual exercise. Check out this list of classes and imagine yourself in one of them. Provide resistance in the classroom discussions to postmodernist narratives, chances are good your voice will be the only one students hear willing to challenge a professor in class. See the next post in this series.

  • 1R. Buy billboard space and post the most egregious transgressions, alá Three Billboards.
