Students Discuss Republican Politics in an Open Forum

September 25, 2007 - 11:00pm
By Michael Stratford

Cornell College Republicans hosted an open forum in Rockefeller Hall last night in an effort to reach out to black students and dispel stereotypes they said have distorted their party’s image and views on race.

The event, which was the first of its kind in recent years, consisted of a two-member panel of Republicans, and was entitled “Cornell Republicans Exposed: The Real Conservative View on Issues that Affect the Black Community.”

The goal of the event was to engage in a constructive dialogue, “not the type of thing we see on so many cable news networks,” David Harris, deputy provost, said to open the forum.

We wanted “to expose people to republican ideals,” said Ahmed Salem ’08, chair of the Cornell College Republicans. He also served as a panelist.
