I removed the reference to the "active" conservative faction on campus. The MacGOP exists on paper but, as a current student, I have no knowledge of any meetings, events, or other activities they've engaged in. The vast majority of students are left-leaning, with swatchs of apathy and a small resurgent radical population. -Brendan '10
Just be careful not to turn the article into a posterchild for left-wing politics. -Mike '09
Wouldn't dream of it. But I think I'm being accurate with this description, no? -Brendan '10
I would dream of it. -William '08
Regarding Brendon's post about the MacGOP, they do infact exist, meet, and do things. They are a very small organization, and do not advertise much, however as a member of the MacDems I can assure you that representatives of the MacGOP have come to us to discuss bipartisan matters. They do exist, and should be included in this entry.
Okay, well any conversation about it has been taken out now by somebody else. Fine by me. -Brendan '10 141.140.6.71 13:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't this issue be briefly mentioned? https://reason.com/2023/02/09/after-muslim-students-complained-that-an-art-exhibit-was-harmful-macalester-college-shut-it-down/ 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:818B:71D6:5F6A:2383 ( talk) 00:58, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
This article seems curiously scrubbed of any mention of DeWitt Wallace, the anti-communist Republican who was a (the?) major donor to Macalester College in the past -- probably kept it from going under back then. His disputes with President Turck over the years were historic. I suppose Wallace's views would be anathema on Macalester campus today, but is wiping him out of history the appropriate reaction?

Jal6636 recently added rankings from Money and Niche. I objected to the addition and removed them. Instead of opening a discussion, they immediately restored them without any attempt at communication - not even an edit summary.
These are not reputable ranking systems taken seriously by scholars or experts. They usually are not included in article - for good reason. ElKevbo ( talk) 21:37, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
