The Commission on Student Affairs wish to say thank you for not only listening to our concerns as members of the Virginia Tech community, but also responding with policy changes, which address most, if not all, of the issues we have raised over the last few years.
Please know it was unanimously voted by the CSA to draft this letter of recognition to you and your staff for considering and implementing changes pertaining to the online commenting system. We wish to applaud the time taken by each of you to consider the many perspectives of this issue and believe these adjustments more appropriately correspond to the Virginia Tech Principles of Community and our university motto “Ut
Prosim.”
Although the online commenting system was of greatest concern to our body, we are also very pleased to learn of additional changes including: the new process of handling comments, the decision to eliminate the “burying” of comments, explanations of the Collegiate Times’ standards, future goals for the commenting section, and the commitment of two additional staff members to the moderating
process.
Please note that the Chair of our Collegiate Times Sub-Committee, Michelle McLeese, has been working diligently to create, administer, and analyze the data from a general readership survey (of the CT) that was taken by a random sample of graduate and undergraduate students here at Virginia
Tech.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the chair, Mr. Sandy Bass, or any member on the CSA. Thank you for your courageous leadership with regard to this issue; we wish you the best of luck in all of your future
endeavors.
Sandy Bass on behalf of the Commission on Student Affairs

How about a discussion of: "The victors write the history."
Apply it to the official story of World War II and the official story of the Holocaust.
I predict that you will not take up the challenge in any serious way. Even if you do, you will give the pro Allied-Jewish version. (You will think it a lie that Jews supported other causes because the volume of Allied propaganda posing as truth is so immense.) Also, you could lose your jobs or worse if you gave a platform for honest inquiry that would lead to showing the Allies in very negative light, while showing the Axis in a less negative one.
You have to discuss Capatilism vs. Communism vs. Socalism vs. Fascism; You have to discuss Gentile vs. Jewish attitudes about each; Proportions of Gentiles and Jews who supported each philosophy and what they said in support or opposition towards any particular one.
You also have to discuss the mass media demonization of disproportionate White Gentile control of society vs. little attention or even praise, which is given to disproportionate Jewish control of the same societies.
If you are ignorant of alternate versions of history or quick to write them off as "enemy lies," then you make a very good slave for your masters. You don't even believe they exist.
Your haste to write this post off as "crazy talk" is part of the reason you have to work so hard for a living.
