Campus Reform kept up with coverage of multiple developing stories throughout 2021. Below are five sagas from this year in higher education.
5. UW-Madison spent $50,000 to remove a rock from campus
The Wisconsin Black Student Union at the University of Wisconsin- Madison spent $50,000 to remove a 70-ton rock from campus after accusations of racism for formerly being known as “N*****head Rock.” Presently, it is referred to as Chamberlin Rock.
The demand came as one of four in a list emailed to the administration in 2020. The list was compiled and sent as an attempt to make campus a “more inclusive environment.” Students and faculty followed suit and sent a series of individual emails to the chancellor imploring them to take the demands seriously. Removal of the rock was approved and cost the University approximately $50,000 paid for using “private gift funding.”
Emails obtained by Campus Reform show university officials claiming that the evidence provided by WBSU to persuade the removal of the rock was unsubstantiated. Others commented on the notion of never hearing the rock referred to by anything but Chamberlin Rock.
This was overlooked by the administration, however, with a university spokeswoman telling Campus Reform that the rock will be relocated due to the “harm caused by the rock’s association with a racial slur.”
4. Point Park University threatens “action could be taken” for mis-pronouncing students
A student at Point Park University blew the whistle on a new policy that threatens “action could be taken” against individuals who mis-pronoun others. However, the announcement did not distinguish what action would be initiated.Logan Dubil, the student and Campus Reform correspondent who broke the story, appeared on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” to discuss the policy change. He faced immediate backlash from Point Park students following the appearance, going as far […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
