Princeton Alumni Have Much To Be Concerned About

Princeton University, despite what you might hear from Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, isn't just for white rich men. There are quite a few women and minorities on the faculty, in the administration, and in the student body. I've seen them with my own eyes. One minority is notoriously underrepresented at New Jersey's Ivy: Republicans. For my booklet Deep Blue Campuses, I combed through computerized Federal Election Commission records and found that Princeton employees gave 114 donations to John Kerry in the 2004 election cycle but just one donation to George W. Bush. For every $302 that Princeton employees donated to Kerry, they gave $1 to Bush. So Princeton does have a diversity problem. It's just not the kind that Joe Biden would ever care about. Concerned Alumni of Princeton, the group Samuel Alito apparently was a member of, went defunct almost two decades ago. But Princeton alumni still have much to be concerned about.

"But the diversity at Berkley only goes skin deep."

I remember when you wrote something to that affect some time back, Dan. Great sentance. When you talk about diversity and pseuda-diversity, you elloquence shines.

Ted Kennedy was recently shocked, SHOCKED to find out that the Harvard Club is less than diverse and bans women. So he just quit!

The Sportos, the Geeks, the Airheads, the Dweeboids, they all think he's a righteous dude.
