David Williams
Last week, we shared David's year-long battle with discrimination charges from a LBGT group on campus. David is also a graduate of the Leadership Institute's Campus Election Workshop.

David Aula, California State University-Long Beach
In response to his activities with the Long Beach Conservative Student Union, leftist students created a smear web page (WARNING: R-rated content) on David Aula. When reporting this, David wrote, "As a Ronald Reagan Scholar and a YLS graduate, I learn[ed] to take this bump in the road in stride."

Alexander Dean, SUNY College-Cortland wrote:
Alexander was required to attend a Career Services workshop on job interviews for a social studies education class. The Career Services professional selected Alexander for a mock interview. When he asked about extra-curricular activities, Alexander mentioned that he was president of the College Republicans chapter. In response, the Career Services staffer, "laughed, put his fingers in the shape of an 'L' on his forhead, and said, 'I'm sorry, but we've had 8 years of your bull****' (referring to Bush)."

In his e-mail, Alexander said, "Very professional, huh?  Now I don't dare use the services of the Career Services Office."

Jordan Rothman, Brandeis University
Last fall, Jordan placed a number of John McCain for President stickers on his door to show his support. One night before the election, he saw a student and a friend vandalize his door and write offensive slurs. Jordan confronted them, upset that his property had been destroyed. He also took up the issue with the head of Department of Residence Life, who issued a verbal warning to the student.

According to Jordan:

The kid who vandalized my stickers happened to be gay. I knew this fact and confronted him about how he, who is from a community that has experienced such bigotry, be intolerant of my opinions. I asked him if I really needed to teach him a lesson in tolerance, and warned that I would be bringing this incident to the authorities.

Jordan also noted that Brandeis had dealt with a similar incident in 2006 much differently:

This is ridiculous to me, because my situation was no different than a time in 2006 when someone vandalized a Jesus Fish on campus and wrote the word "Science" on it. In this earlier incident there was a campus-wide town-hall meeting, emails were sent out, and university officials truly wanted to prosecute the individuals responsible.
