Work-Study Woes

|

"Classism" is defined by Webster's Dictionary as "prejudice against or in favor of people belonging to a particular socioeconomic class." This College, in all of its endeavors to make itself a symbol of equality, with all of its tirades against the perceived epidemics of hate crimes, with all of its attempts to finally triumph over its sexism, has overlooked one of its most atrocious anathemas -- its blatant classism.

The director of vegan campaigns for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Friedrich explained that as a young boy from a traditional Midwestern background, he would not have been able to imagine life as a vegan.
