Reply #76: As a graduate student here at IU Bloomington, I'd have to agree. [View All]

Bloomington is a very liberal town for Indiana. It must be that the flagship state university is here. There is a very active chapter of the College Democrats, and Monroe County Dems do very well in local elections.

I have to admit, though, that I am in a science department, so I don't get to hear all the debates firsthand, but we rarely get any conservative speakers compared to the few liberals who are invited. Many of the scientists here are very nervous about the funding situation--especially the biologists.

I'm not too worried about Horowitz's little game. The current president of Indiana University is a real ballbreaker, so he'll make it clear to the new Governor that any attempted implementation of something the like the above legislation will be flatly ignored. It'll be great.
