Upon reading the Family Foundation's blog post about their president, Victoria Cobb, receiving the Jepson School of Leadership Studies' 10th Reunion Recognition Award and the resulting student protest, my first instinct was to laugh. It amused me that the Family Foundation — such a supposedly influential, powerful organization — would be so threatened by a group of undergraduate protesters that they chose to insult us rather than to focus on their esteemed leader in their article. That they were unable to correctly spell the word "hypocrisy" was merely icing on the cake.
At the recent forum to discuss the concern over Victoria Cobb receiving the award from Jepson, a fellow student said something to the effect of, "These comments come from the students' sadness; we don't feel safe here."

In last week's Collegian, Alex Borwick and Jeff Hunt suggested that the Jepson School's recognition of Victoria Cobb's leadership accomplishments was inappropriate in light of her political positions and professional advocacy. The relevant question to consider, however, is not whether we agree with her political leanings (and I will not argue for them here), but whether she has met the criteria set forth by the Jepson School for quality leadership. The article errs in its conflation of the two.
Tim Kaine, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, spoke to staff and students at the University of Richmond on Monday evening, discussing his role as a leadership studies professor and active politician.
The article last week suggesting that Victoria Cobb should be denied her leadership award immediately struck me as wrong on numerous levels. Most obviously, the authors express dripping intolerance for someone they view as intolerant. In case you missed the irony, they, who champion tolerance, refuse to tolerate someone. It's easy to tolerate different views that are tame, or don't affect you, but if you truly value tolerance, the test occurs when a view comes along which really hits you hard.

My School of Arts and Sciences curriculum has taken me through quite a few buildings and disciplines across campus, but it has never forced me to explore the other two undergraduate schools.
