Question 2
Would you support a social action group dedicated to issues of class and/or classism? Why or why not?
"No. Such a group would only work to divide students via artificial divisions and class-warfare rhetoric". ~ Nick Truesdale, Vice President of Dickinson College Republicans
"I would definitely support such a group because although I stated earlier that a possible cause for there not being a group dealing with class as the student population on campus not acknowledging class as an issue or problem to be discussed, I personally realize that it very well may be. Class can be just as alienating and divisive to human beings on a college campus as race but most of the time race is looked to first". ~ Rick Raymond, member of the African American Society
"Yes, I would support a group dedicated to issues of class, but I think it would be better to simply include disscusions of class in the existing groups." ~ Caitlin Conyngham, member of the Women's Center executive board
"No, the last thing this school needs is another organization, especially one dedicated to such a specific cause. Before beginning an entire interest group, it might be much more effective, so propose ideas through the office of diversity initiatives and social justice to initially explores these issues on campus and from there gauge the level of interest and engagement from the school, then act accordingly. Additionally, there is another student group on campus, students for social action, under whose umbrella, a project like this could technically fall under. " ~ Afif Kulaylat, Co-President of Middle Eastern Club
