JORR exudes sexuality. I would not wander around Roscoe Village unattended if I were him.

Purdue/Mitch Daniels:


WSJ
An adult on campus: Mitch Daniels’s letter to Purdue about protests

It deserves to be quoted at length: “Events this week at the University of Missouri and Yale University should remind us all of the importance of absolute fidelity to our shared values. First, that we strive constantly to be, without exception, a welcoming, inclusive and discrimination-free community, where each person is respected and treated with dignity. Second, to be steadfast in preserving academic freedom and individual liberty.

“Two years ago, a student-led initiative created the ‘We Are Purdue Statement of Values,’ which was subsequently endorsed by the University Senate. Last year, both our undergraduate and graduate student governments led an effort that produced a strengthened statement of policies protecting free speech. What a proud contrast to the environments that appear to prevail at places like Missouri and Yale. Today and every day, we should remember the tenets of those statements and do our best to live up to them fully.”

So a commitment to tolerance can coexist on campus with a commitment to free speech and open debate. What a concept.

I thought this was a pretty good article about the protests.

Loyola, too. And they seem to be making the same mistakes the folks at Missouri did:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/loca ... story.html

Organizers led students in a brief march around campus in which they chanted, "Not just Mizzou, it's Loyola too!" before stopping at Halas field, where they locked hands and members of The Black Tribune asked the media, not including those from their own publication, to stand outside the perimeter.

Thanks for sharing that--that was a needed counter to this idea that free speech is overtaking other (racial) issues. So much silencing goes on in academia....

LOYOLA UNIVERSITY - CHICAGO

Groups, including many student activists of color, carried signs reading "Black Lives Matter" and rallied against gentrification they feel is happening in the Rogers Park neighborhood.

So we have now connected development with the Mizzou issue.

Congrats.

Evil Developers~

Whatever gentrification there's been in East Rogers Park, there hasn't been enough.

Cant think of an entity that has more to do with gentrification and might benefit more than Loyola, itself from such improvements of Rogers Park as well

How someone lets that be part of the message sent out is amazing.

We don't gentrify. Too many courtyard buildings, Muslims, and other weirdos. However, Cary's has been cleaned up and has added a long list of craft beers to its menu.

I'll never understand Rogers Park. Can you explain why? I'd be interested in hearing.

Grab a seat at the heartland Cafe, someone will be glad to explain it to you while you chomp down on a black bean burger. Be careful, you might need to duck due to the drug dealing on the corner, but dont worry about it, he is part of the neighborhood, so whatever he does is OK....

That's right. We'll have him paint a mural between drug deals. My guy!

I went to Heartland with some of my friends on a few occasions when I was a student there in the late 80s. It got shut down for a bit a few years ago for health code violations.

As a former resident of East Rogers Park, the nature and tone of this conversation is making us feel unsafe. Our list of demands is as follows: 1. You will create a safe space for marginalized posters immediately. 2. Said safe space will be stocked with fresh, organic, locally grown produce. 3. A Zero-tolerance policy toward bias of any kind will be instituted immediately; any violations of this policy will be met with immediate, permanent expulsion. 4. Because bigfan's input is not desired, he will resign leadership of this board immediately. 5. A committee comprised exclusively of marginalized posters will be established immediately and make all future decisions pertaining to the mission of this board. 6. To let you know I am serious, I will not eat anything until all of the aformentioned demands are met.

"Smiles with Nostrils"

"...no Hmong, go find some blacks"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the only real "bad" parts of Rogers Park is in two places...the square two block area on Howard between Paulina to Ashland and the Jonquil/Juneway Terraces....and the other being right around the Morse Red Line stop.

The area around Jarvis seems fine to me.

It's hard for me to say because I spent so much time there growing up, but I'd say nothing on any part of Howard is too good. Guys get shot near Devon and Western all the time. Morse is a lot better than it once was, but still not the safest spot in the City. That area of Chicago north of Howard, what we used to just call "Juneway" is as bad as ever, I think.

This guy is from Birchwood and Damen. I don't take him seriously, but he's fun to follow:
