the op is nonsense.
a non-story in which the factoids adduced are interpreted through a thick veneer of hysteria. while ubertuber has taken care of the objections to this kind of program, and host the source for this particular tempest in a teapot in conservativeland, i am amused by a couple of things:

1. what opposing benign programs like this puts conservatives in the position of arguing against: conservatives now oppose sustainability (why?); the oppose tolerance of difference (why?); they oppose social justice (this we knew, but i doubt that conservatives like to array themselves against social justice)...they oppose programs that would tell undergraduates that being racist is perhaps not the best idea, they oppose the notion that homophobia is a problem.

so we could arrange a little picture of what conservatives support from this:
racism
homophobia
social injustice
non-sustainable practice
intolerance

well played.


btw i taught at delaware for a year. while that hardly make me an expert on the place, i nonetheless am familiar with it. if i remember correctly, it has a very high percentage of commuting students for a main state university. i mention this because it puts something of the dormitory programs into another perspective.
