Occupy Purdue (Opinion) | Heads up: wall of text and from mobile in the Union.
Today I was walking near Hovde and was handed a flyer concerning the extreme right wing messages on campus in a movement called "Occupy Purdue". Their demands, and my opinions, are (reduced to save time):
1 . "A statement from President Mitch Daniels and Provost Debashish Dutta that denounces the fascist posters on campus," due to certain students mental health or physical well being.
I am fairly certain there has been a few emails from President Daniels regarding some racist or hateful messages on campus. And I feel that is the 100% right thing to do. However I don't think the head of the University should be stating political standpoints for the school regarding the far right messages.
2 . The removal of these political posters
Again, I think this is an infringement on free speech that some students want to express. It would be wrong to take down these posters just like it would be wrong to take down anti-Trump posters or far left ones (even though I have not seen any, only protests).
3 . Reinstate Chief Diversity Office position
Totally justified.
4 . Mandatory racism courses
I'm iffy on this issue. I think that the average Purdue student knows slavery, Civil Rights, and racism in this country pretty well considering it is in our history classes. But, if someone shows signs of being a racist or does anything related to a hate crime, they should have to take at least a few seminars on race equality as directed by the University.
5 . "That all staff, students, and faculty participating in democratic protests on campus be free to do so without fear of any retaliation, discrimination, or persecution"
This is a perfect example of a double standard. If these anti-fascist/right wing protesters want to protest their side, of course they can. However, when you say that the other side cannot also have their right to protest in their own way or have their free speech, then you are being unfair and un-American.
Again, I don't align myself right or left on the political specrum (actually more left but still) but, I do believe that people deserve their right to speak, protest, and think they way they want to, whether you think they're assholes or not. This is the American way and it is the way we should all strive for; equality and justice in all aspects of our community here at Purdue. | 2017-01-27T18:22:16 | https://www.reddit.com/r/Purdue/comments/5qiptu/occupy_purdue_opinion/ | sparticussword | 12,051 |

I can register for the test, but I can not see any dates until after I pay the $225 fee. And I do not want to pay that unless I am positive there are at least two times I can make.

Mitch Daniels on Trump Muslim Immigration Ban | Sent to our emails, text here:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
President Daniels issues statement, guidance regarding executive order on immigration
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University President Mitch Daniels on Sunday (Jan. 29) issued the following statement regarding the Executive Order issued Friday (Jan. 27) by President Donald Trump:
“The President's order related to immigration is a bad idea, poorly implemented, and I hope that he will promptly revoke and rethink it. If the idea is to strengthen the protection of Americans against terrorism, there are many far better ways to achieve it.”
Around 100 of Purdue’s 40,000 students are from the countries named in this week’s executive order from the White House and hold non-immigrant visas. Another 10 faculty are citizens of those countries.
Currently, the university is not aware of any of its students, staff or faculty who have been left stranded outside the United States, however, the university remains concerned for them and their families as the result of this order.
The university cautions students, staff and faculty who appear to be affected by the executive order not to leave the United States until the Departments of State and Homeland Security issue new guidelines. In addition, those who have concerns about the impact of the order may contact the Office of International Students and Scholars ([email protected] or 765-494-5770) or the Office of the Dean of Students for advice and support.

Free showing of the movie "Get Out" on February 8th at Wabash Landing 9 at 7pm | Every few months there is a free showing of a movie through the Universal rep at Purdue. They don't advertise it very well so I thought I'd post it here in case anyone might be interested.
On February 8th at 7pm, there will be a free showing of the movie "Get Out" at Wabash Landing 9. The movie doesn't officially release until February 24th.
I'm not sure how to get tickets for it yet, but I will try to find out soon.

Inconsistent internet in dorm | Overall, the wired internet in the dorms has been really great: it is super fast and is way better than any internet I have ever had before.
The problem I am currently having with it though is that every 10-15 minutes it will cut out and depending on what I'm using the internet for it can be quite a hassle to deal with (like when playing games or talking to someone). And I'm wired into the cisco router directly with a 1 Gbps ethernet cord, so I'm not sure where the problem arises.
I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this in the dorms so I can know whether or not I should email IT about it. If it is seems like it's only a problem for me then I'll know that it probably has to do with the router in my dorm.

How are the Summer Distance(Online) courses? | I am in the middle of a CODO and a bit behind in my new major, so I need some summer classes to catch me up/boost my GPA a bit. Right now, I have it set up with one class that is on campus and three Distance classes. Two would be from 5/15 to 6/09 (COM 212, OLS 252) and one alongside my on-campus class (STAT 225) from 6/12 to 8/1.
My on campus class would be CNIT 242 for reference. Also, do any of these classes really suck online or is this a reasonable workload? I'm going to be working and don't want to stress myself out if I do not need to.
Thanks for any help guys. I figure it might be better to ask here since some of you may have experience in those courses. | 2017-01-30T03:11:19 | https://www.reddit.com/r/Purdue/comments/5qy8yc/how_are_the_summer_distanceonline_courses/ | GeneralChaz9 | 12,081 |

Considering Transferring to Purdue. Wanted to see what the Boilermakers themselves thought! | Hey everyone! I'm a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, and I'm considering transferring to Purdue University. I currently study Computer Engineering, and I'm really interested to hear what you all think of the CE (or similar like EE/CS) program, and just in general what any of you think of Purdue!
I think I have the grades to get in, but it certainly does cost more since I'll be out-of-state, so I'm also curious if anyone has comments about the transfer process to Purdue, especially regarding scholarships!

Statement from Rhonda Phillips, Honors College Dean, on Immigration Executive Order | This was sent this morning to HC students' emails. Copied below:
Dear Honors College Students,
I know that last week's executive order on immigration has many of us
worried about our international friends and family. I say this to all our students, but particularly to students from other countries: the strength of our community is in our diversity, and we stand with you in this time of concern.
We have created the Honors College as an interdisciplinary, international community, and it is your home, no matter where you live on campus. Please take heart that you are welcome and supported here.
If you have not already seen President Daniel's public response to the
executive order, I copy it here: "The President's order related to
immigration is a bad idea, poorly implemented, and I hope that he will promptly revoke and rethink it. If the idea is to strengthen the
protection of Americans against terrorism, there are many far better
ways to achieve it."
E Pluribus Unum - out of many, one (and by the way, adopted in 1782 for the Great Seal of the United States),

Daniels to Occupy Purdue this morning | So there's been a lot of discussion here about the Occupy Purdue people and their demand for a mandated class on race relations/race in America. Some good arguments for and against, some less good, but lots of talk around it.

Freshman questions from a Krannert's student. | I went through the threads but there aren't many Krannert-related freshmen questions.
So I'm a marketing major, and the two business related LCs, Krannert's Leaders Academy and Entrepreneurship and Innovation, the first is optional in McCutcheon, the second is required to stay in Harrison. But from what I know, both are a far walk to any other places, and are not the best place to make friends(opened-doors wise).
So my questions are:
1.) Is it meaningless if I join the Leaders Academy LC and not live in the designated hall?
2.) Is LC really recommended or joining clubs related to business or Krannert is actually equivalent to joining Krannert's LC?
3.) If I want to live in a hall that people all get to know each other and be social, what halls are recommended? (And is close to Krannert's classes as well?)
4.) Is there a hall that many Business major students go to? | 2017-01-31T12:28:16 | https://www.reddit.com/r/Purdue/comments/5r7w26/freshman_questions_from_a_krannerts_student/ | abbeechang | 12,098 |

Purdue's International Students & Scholars office just sent out this email | Dear ------,
Late Friday President Trump signed an executive order which, among other things, bans travel to the US for the next 90 days for individuals from Libya, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Syria and Sudan. Given this development we strongly recommend anyone born, and/or now holding citizenship in these countries not travel outside the US for the foreseeable future.

Soon I have to choose my preferred engineering concentration, need some guidance. | First off, my advisor is really really bad. She seems to not know anything about engineering or the workloads of the various classes because she is a backup advisor. I was assigned to her because my previous advisor had too many students to cover.
I need to decide between EE and CompE. I love both software and hardware, I would be happy working with both or either exclusively. I initially declared CompE last year, but its degree framework seems more rigid than EE and I would like to still be involved with marching band / fraternity life. I have talked to upperclassmen in ECE and they haven't been able to convince me to choose one or the other. So far my classes have been very manageable as FYE, even with band and rushing, but I know my course load will soon skyrocket.
Any CompE's or EE's, how did you decide which degree to ultimately pursue? To whom else can I talk to or email (besides my advisor) to discuss this? I definitely want to make the right decision. Thanks! | 2017-01-31T23:48:06 | https://www.reddit.com/r/Purdue/comments/5rbyyh/soon_i_have_to_choose_my_preferred_engineering/ | themonarc | 12,105 |

Exam procedures | Is there a specified procedure that all exams on campus should follow? I just came out of an exam that I don't think was executed very well.
From past experience, the scantrons would be handed out first and students would be given some time to fill in their name, student ID, and section number. The exam questions would be distributed after this. However, in the exam I just took, the questions were handed out first and the scantrons were distributed AFTER we were told to begin and the timer had started. There was no specified time to bubble in our background information. I was able to write in the information at the tops of the columns, but I didn't have enough time to bubble everything in at the end. I also knew that if I kept my scantron when the professor went around to collect it, I could have been accused of cheating.
Does anyone have any idea what I should do about this? I really don't want my score to be affected. | 2017-02-01T03:43:52 | https://www.reddit.com/r/Purdue/comments/5rd8n0/exam_procedures/ | eventhorizon51 | 12,111 |

Admitted to Purdue... but some things are off-putting | So I've received an admission offer into Purdue's Political Science PhD program. The offer includes 5 years of fully funded studies with all shenanigans. Very tempting indeed.
I received this offer in late January, which is extremely early for grad school admission. It goes without saying that I have applied to other schools from which I haven't received a reply yet. Purdue was in my safety category, as it's ranking for Political Science isn't exactly very good (only #61). From what I deduct from previous years' admission offers from other universities, they mostly have their 'admitted student events' in late March, after the 15th March decision-deadline. Purdue, however, is holding its event on February 19-21. Since this date is before I can even expect to have received the all replies from the other universities.
The very early admission, the very early information event at Purdue, and the very short notice to make a decision to attend the event or not ("you have three days to decide weather you'd like to attend the admitted student information event") is somehow off-putting to me. All other universities I applied to run on a schedule that is centered on March for final admission decisions and information events.
Yes, it's only an information event and it doesn't require a decision. But the impression I get out of such a seemingly hasty procedure is that they really would like to get students' decisions before some of the other programs even sent out their offers. It seems a little desperate to me.
What is your take on that?
And in addition: what can you tell me about the pol. sci. department? Are there any red flags I should be aware of? | 2017-02-02T02:40:55 | https://www.reddit.com/r/Purdue/comments/5rk6x0/admitted_to_purdue_but_some_things_are_offputting/ | Doatz | 12,125 |

Any boilermaker musicians want to get together and play some folk? | I'm a beginner-intermediate guitarist. I want to play some music with other people. Skill levels are pretty irrelevant to me, that is to say: if you want to play with me, I want to play with you.

I'll play basically anything, but right now I'm listening to a lot of The Head and the Heart, The Lumineers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Bright Eyes. | 2017-02-02T07:55:22 | https://www.reddit.com/r/Purdue/comments/5rljk5/any_boilermaker_musicians_want_to_get_together/ | CatsDogsRoosterCalls | 12,128 |
