As officially registered student organizations on campus we seek to promote acceptance of free speech and debate. Our goal is to create an atmosphere where diversity is recognized and appreciated but where common ground is emphasized and competitive standards are superior to political correctness. Indeed, in the course of the last four years at Cornell, the administration has acted as if it were actually trying to undermine the academic validity of the university. Even in the short time that I've been at Cornell, we've slipped several positions to the last in the Ivy League to say nothing of the longer-term trend.
Countless examples exist.
However, the simple fact is that the Cornell University administration submits to radical students' demands, usually at the grave expense of academic quality. It's no wonder that it is finally appearing in the rankings. Additionally, with this year s focus on women, ILF is helping to prove that conservatism encompasses more than the causes of rich, white males. At Princeton, we have once again constituted Ivy Leaguers to take up that cause. True loyalty and support of one's college is shown when one gets involved in supporting timeless values such as freedom of speech especially when such concepts are considered un-trendy.
