SU Moves to the liberal left ? no longer the politically independent school it once was!

Twenty years ago or even ten years ago, Syracuse was well respected and known for its rich traditions, competitive academics, competitive sports programs and was independent and maintained a politically neutral stance. Students received a quality education without indoctrination, but as they say ?all good things must come to an end?.

Today the Syracuse Board of Trustees has a vastly different makeup. The Board of Trustees sets the school?s agenda, hires the Chancellor, and makes the school?s policy decisions. You can learn a lot about the ideology of the school?s leadership once you understand their political affiliation and corresponding political contributions.

John Chapple Chair Democrat- Donated $4K+ to Obama and $2K Democrat Rick Larsen

Given the overwhelming one-sidedness of the Chancellor?s and the Board?s liberal democrat affiliations, you can easily understand and not be surprised that Syracuse University has moved decidedly to the left.

Over the past several years actions and decisions made by Syracuse University (the Board of Trustees and Nancy Cantor) clearly show that the ideology of the university?s leadership has influenced the school.

Controversial and politically motivated actions by Syracuse University Leadership 2003-2010:

  • Nancy Cantor Hired as Chancellor in 2004
  • Chancellor Nancy Cantor?s defense and lack of action in response to SU professor Boyce Watkin?s radical hate speech ? This radical professor continues to work at the university
  • Syracuse hires first Pagan Chaplain in the school?s chapel 80-year history
  • Syracuse hires Gay Marriage Activist as Dean of Hendricks Chapel
  • Chancellor Cantor?s decision to enforce censorship by disbanding student run TV station
  • Changed the school?s 114 year old nickname from Orangemen/Orangewomen to genderless politically correct Orange without student or alumni support
  • Banned the Boy Scouts from campus for politically correct reasons
  • Hires troubled x-governor Eliot Spitzer to speak at the university after he resigned for hiring a prostitute
  • Appointment of Douglas Bilken as Dean for the School of Education after learning his method to help autistic children was a hoax
  • Protected SU professor Laurence Thomas and did not take disciplinary action after learning about his openly racial remarks directed at his students. ? This radical professor continues to work at the university
  • Elimination of 90 year old Swim/Dive Team in favor of Women?s Hockey
  • Syracuse Officials stop SU professor Jeff Stonecash (a Democrat) from conducting political polling, after doing so for 24 years, because his recent candidate poll was for a republican congressman
  • Opened ?Genderless Dorms? for non-married domestic partners
  • Defends Syracuse University professor Deborah Freund after Excellus Insurance company paid her $61,378 to serve on its board of directors while at the same time, she was working for a nonprofit created to develop a new health payment system that wasn?t owned or controlled by health insurance companies.
  • Syracuse funds participation in Gay Pride parade in 2010
  • Chancellor Cantor?s decision to cut health benefits for married SU employees in order to increase heathcare benefits for same sex domestic partner employees as part of her ?Values? agenda
  • Parents and students must realize and understand that SU has changed. Parents must understand that their hard earned money for tuition ($250K over 4 years) is not going just for ?education? anymore. It is used as a platform for the SU's liberal leaders to push their agendas, policies, propaganda, political objectives and indoctrinate students.
