And people wonder why universities are considered "liberal" and why liberals are, for the most part, labeled as terrorist sympathizers. At least they could legitimately pawn-off their acceptance as being "open to all forms of diversity" if a handful of these universities (Harvard, Berkeley, etc) were open to ROTC and recruiting as well, but they aren't. It boggles my mind.
But there is a good side to this... it allows us to keep tabs on him while he’s on our soil.

That is ludicrous! Unless that guy has taken a complete 180 degree turn, I am astounded that he would be allowed to take one of the few precious seats at our leading institution.

Yeah, a close friend of my family who's a resident alien is now going though tons of legal **** for something petty that happened when he first came here from Israel 18yrs ago. He's the nicest man I have ever known and he's very close to being sent back permanently. He waits in prison as we speak for the word while his American citizen wife and kids are at home.
It's one of those cases where notorious status equals immunity. You kill one child after raping them and you're hauled off till your death sentence takes place. We don't give a damn if you're killed by other inmates before your execution takes place and rightfully so. Your actions have little political leverage and you’re just another statistic.
On the other hand you're directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths of every age bracket. So we set-up a individual court for you, bend over backwards for your every request, and let you report all of it to the media so you can gather a stronger following to listen to your ramblings on how bad the “Evil Empire” is treating you.
