IS IT possibly true a conservative student group could have been denied funds from University of Wisconsin-Madison student fees because of objections to its political viewpoints? Oh, surely not.
Just because the group engages in such things as a planned protest against an Al Gore speech in Madison, how could anyone believe decision-makers on the liberal campus might object and pull the plug on money? The rejection, supposedly, is because the club â?? Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow â?? does not provide enough â??direct servicesâ? to students.
Besides, university rules state the fees are to be disbursed in a viewpoint-neutral manner. Itâ??s hard to believe the good folks controlling the pursestrings would consider bending that rule just to stick a finger in the eye on some annoyingly conservative kids.
