Students at Canadian University Stir Controversy by Pulling Out of Cystic-Fibrosis Event

The student-government association at Carleton University, in Ottawa, is drawing widespread criticism for withdrawing from a nationwide fund raiser for cystic fibrosis after deciding the disease was not “inclusive” enough, The Charlatan, Carleton’s student newspaper, reported.

Freshmen at 65 universities and colleges in Canada have raised millions for the disease over the past 50 years in a traditional event held during student-orientation week. But Carleton will no longer participate, after the association adopted a motion on Monday erroneously stating that the disease “has been recently revealed to only affect white people, and primarily men.” The motion directs student leaders to select a more “broad reaching” charity to support.

Cathleen Morrison, head of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, said in a television report on CTV that while it is correct to say that the disease primarily affects Caucasian populations, the term “Caucasian” includes people from South Asia, North Africa, the Persian Gulf, and Israel, who are equally susceptible to the disease regardless of skin color. She added that cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease among young people in Canada, and that it affects just as many girls as boys.

For its part, the student association told CBC News that it was simply looking for a different charity to support next fall.

However, reaction has been swift, with comments on Facebook and in mainstream publications like Macleans magazine saying the student association “has shown itself to be the least-intelligent student union in the country.” A columnist in The National Post wrote that “even by the loopy standards of student governments, this has got to be a new low.” —Karen Birchard

Comments

1. It is the right-wing — including Macleans, The National Post, and conservative students — that is deliberately blowing this issue out of proportion. As the student association explained, it is simply looking for a new charity to support; there are many charities that need support and only so much fundraising possible in a given year. The motion’s rationale — written by the single individual mover of the motion — does not necessarily reflect the association’s position, collectively, despite what the right-wing is saying.

2. Rick, when we move away from what the students said to what they intended to say, we get onto some pretty slippery ground. I am going to stick to judging their words, and leave it to God to judge their motives. I am with Macleans and the National Post. The students should put a little more thought, maybe even research, into their resolutions.

3. Let them switch charities if they want, by all means. But not via a blatantly sexist and racist motion. That’s what gotten them slapped down, deservedly so. And many more slaps to come, I hope.

   — Chris    Nov 25, 10:31 PM    #

4. I agree with Chris, there are many equally if not more far reaching charities that could be supported. However the presentation of the motion was clearly inappropriate (and incorrect). I think that it would have been most appropriate to let the student body decide what they wanted the charity to be. There would be NO controversy in that case.

5. Hey to all the haters –

   You are all bigots! Until you know what it’s like to suffer discrimination, you do not deserve to speak. White people get all of the best medical attention and certainly if there were a couple of dollars more to be spent on medicine that helps minorities, I won’t lose sleep over it.

   If you still want to debate what I have done, add me on facebook:

6. As a student of Carleton, I am embarrassed by the motion put forth by our student council. The logic behind it is sincere, but the complete lack of thought for the reaction something like this would garner is horrendous. It comes off as a personal slight to Shinerama (the charity supported through orientation week), and those suffering from cystic fibrosis deserve better.

7. What an embarrassment for Carleton and frankly university students everywhere. Combine ignorance with a sense of absolute righteousness that only belief in the PC religion can provide and this what you get. Then again PC and ignorance go hand in hand. I lost a close friend to CF. She lived a longer life than expected thanks to research this twerp wants to pull the plug on.

   They endorsed his thinking by endorsing the motion. It is as simple as that. This has nothing to do with right wing anything.

8. If the Student Government of Carleton College wanted to Support a new Charity then they should have done so in a forth right matter and not become involved in adolescent excuse making. The whole student organization is responsible for the action . Attempts to “Back Peddle” and distance themselves from there action is typical when actions are poorly conceived. I believe students at the college need to hold these student government officials accountable for there behavior in some way…..perhaps a another vote or a recall election.

   — A Sad Florida Resident    Nov 26, 07:11 AM    #

9. Student organizations mostly imitate the powers that they see operating, even if the imitation seems poor to many observers. At Carleton, this seems to be a case of students imitating administrators. Like current administrators, the students want a yearly review of everything, do not want ever to feel committed to anything, and feel that diversity claims are the best way to achieve the freedom to be arbitrary on an annual basis. Remember when students used to listen to and sometimes imitate professors? Whew, those dirty hippies! Thank goodness students now listen to and imitate administrators!

   — Pat    Nov 26, 07:50 AM    #

10. I think that the Student Association is entitled to do whatever they choose to do as long as it is representing their student body. Who the hell argues that one charity is more deserving than another??? Remember, these are also 18-22 yr olds who are still at a stage in their lives where they learning about decision making, NOT CONGRESS. They are learning and it is our job as Student Affairs Professionals to support them and help them learn from this.

11. Is a student government now obligated to sponsor a particular charity? Is it obligated to sponsor ANY charity? What does this notion of obligation do to the concept of “charity?”

12. Presumably Carleton’s SGA will henceforth have nothing to do with efforts to seek a cure for breast cancer also?

    — Gustave    Nov 26, 09:59 AM    #

13. My husband had two siblings pass away with cystic fibrosis and both were female.
    I’m not asking them to support this charity, but they really need to take a closer look at it. Have them stand next to a baby trying to breath and maybe they would understand the importance of this fund raiser.
    It’s their choice to support whom ever they wish, all I am asking is that they not be too hasty in their decision.

14. We wouldn’t ever want to do anything special for a certain group. Especially something beneficial. From now on, let’s never benefit one group over another. No one gets anything extra or gets special care. Not the poor, not the rich, not minorities or majorities. How about just not doing anything for anyone. Ever. I think that is fair.

    — Captain America    Nov 26, 10:31 AM    #

15. Please remember folks, that this is happening at Carleton University (which is in Ottawa, Ontario) and NOT Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. Two different places.

16. Donnie Northrup’s (5) tantrum is particularly interesting in the light of the fact that it was a WHITE ANTHROPOLOGIST who discovered and explained the relationships among sickle cell anemia, race, malaria, and the development of shifting agriculture.

    Guy Carleton would be ashamed.

    — Joesph F Foster    Nov 26, 11:23 AM    #

17. Which charity these fools decide to support is much less important than the resons they decide to support it, and not another.

    These poor dears suffer from an affliction common to people of all political persuasions: mindlessness.

18. Following that line of thinking, since I know of no woman who has ever contracted prostate cancer, or the rarity of breast cancer in males, neither disease would be worthy enough of the Carlton’s SG charity. In fact, most diseases have an more of an affinity to one of the sexes.

19. Regarding #5’s posting

    From “The Charlatan”, independent campus newspaper of Carelton U:

    “ The motion was proposed by Donnie Northrup, the science faculty representative. “

    — CitizenShip    Nov 26, 03:29 PM    #

20. “The motion was proposed by Donnie Northrup, the science faculty representative.” This is the report from the ‘Charlatan.’ So, it was a memeber of the faculty who made this porposal to the students and who, I gather, gave them the false information about the disease. We might think the students foolish for accepting a ridiculous notion such as ‘inclusivity’ for supporting a charity but we should note that their professor oringinated the argument and gave them the false information. Let’s fix blame where it is most deserved and lighten up on the students.

    — cstars    Nov 26, 03:33 PM    #

21. Apparently, the student government feels it’s not appropriate to host fund raisers for diseases that disproportionately afflict members of un-PC “hate groups”, defined by the following, somewhat Orwellian, but very PC slogans:

    WHITENESS IS RACISM

    MALENESS IS SEXISM

    HETEROSEXUALITY IS HOMOPHOBIA

    GENTILITY IS ANTI-SEMITISM

    If you disagree then you’re a HATER (Donnie told me so).

22. ctars (#20) — He wasn’t a faculty member; he was the student representative from the faculty of science. :)

    Most Canadian student associations include representatives from each faculty.

23. To clarify some earlier assumptions: Donnie Northrup is a fourth-year science student with at least two years on the CUSA student council.

    — CitizenShip    Nov 26, 04:03 PM    #

24. Based upon his comment #5, Donnie Northrup also appears to be whoring for new facebook friends.

    — J. Ward    Nov 26, 04:13 PM    #

25. Oh, I should have stayed here for one of you to clue me in. I’ve been messing around trying to find out who this person is. Anyhow, I did discover on my own that he is a 4th year science student. So, ok, I take it back: he is a student .. and an idiot. I guess that’s better than an idiotic faculty member, right? :-)
    By the way, he seems to have vanished into the depths of Facebook.

    — cstars    Nov 26, 04:39 PM    #

26. Let’s treat this as a teachable moment. These students made an error in judgment and then the mistake was pointed out to them.

    The net result is that we hope that these students learn from their mistakes and rarely repeat them.

    — Sgt. Rock    Nov 26, 05:32 PM    #

27. I took down my facebook to protect it from all the spam you have been sending me. This doesn’t mean that I am afraid. I stand by my motion, because white people still get the vast majority of support from this, and I doubt that any money is being sent to the middle east or india.

    Please take a minute (or several hours) to step outside your small conservative boxes and understand what racism is really like.

28. The “students” (plural) did not make a mistake. However, the “student” (singular) who wrote the original rationale for the motion erred. But the rationale is not what the student association endorsed. Rather, the student association wanted to explore other charities to support. AND THAT IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE. However, if the student body wants to stick with the CF charity, then so be it; the student association has since responded, accordingly.

    The student association never endorsed a “racist” position; it merely decided to explore other charities that it could support. What happened, here, was that the right-wing (including certain media elements, especially Macleans) exploited the problematic “whereas” clauses (i.e., the preamble—one individual’s unrepresentative opinion) attached to the motion in order to smear progressive student leaders. Plain and simple.

    So, contrary to what the right-wing has been saying, the issue was never about withdrawing support for a “white” disease. Rather, the issue was about the student association exploring other charities to support. The right-wing deliberately conflated the issues in order to smear the student association. Don’t fall for it.

    — Rick    Nov 26, 07:45 PM    #

29. I’m afraid falling back on the line “you don’t know what it’s like” doesn’t really work. As a white guy trying to get work and a fair chance in school in Canada these days, I have an idea: it’s called the Employment Equity Act, which defines me as a white male as not only not contributing to diversity, but as a threat to it. Unlike you, I’m discriminated against on the level of federal legislation, largely due to people pulling this “oh but it feels so bad to be discriminated against” line. Bollocks. Grow up and roll with it. In any case, I’d never be so low-class as to defend a discriminatory action by saying “well you don’t know what it’s like to be me,” but there you go. PC radicalism is as pathetic as any other kind of radicalism.

30. Hey Rick (#28),

    re. your clarification of the issue and claiming that critics here are becoming mindless pawns of a right-wing Canadian media smear campaign – sorry, but politics is the issue. – Donnie, the proposer of the motion, is saying immediately before you (#27) pretty clearly that he is talking in political terms, and for that matter, so are you. If the student association does not want to enter a political minefield, it should show more judgement and not have its members and supporters talk in such blatantly political terms. Can you honestly say Donnie’s view is a lone cry in the wilderness? It sounds like an academic commonplace to me.

    More disturbing is that science students have become politicized.

    What are we to suppose if future doctors and scientific researchers begin to politicize certain illnesses, begin to decide that some physical afflictions are morally more worthy of treatment than others?

    Donnie, I am a Carleton graduate. All I can say is, there is more to life than facebook and CUSA motions. A lot of people are upset by this, not because they’re ‘right-wing fascists,’ or ‘duped by the right wing media.’ You’ve touched on something bigger than facile political diatribes, and not in the way that you think. I urge you (though I doubt you will) to step outside your small liberal box for a minute – and in fact to avoid all political labels – and consider what it means to privilege one group over another, especially where science is concerned, simply because you feel you’re morally right. Even if you are fighting for what you perceive to be decades or centuries of medical injustice, consider that your train of thought is leading you down a dark path.

    Science and politics, whether liberal, conservative or otherwise, do not mix. Illnesses should not be politicized. As a science student, maybe you should read some history – and not just the left-wing interpretations that will simply reinforce your political prejudices.

    I see from the news that CUSA is moving to reinstate cystic fibrosis in their charity drive. I hope if you ever become a scientific researcher or physician, and you have to help someone with this illness, you’ll remember this little incident.

31. The consitution for the Carleton Unversity Student Association has four principal aims. The aims of the organization are:

    a. To facilitate co-operation among students in organizing services which supplement the learning
    experience, provide for human needs, and which develop a sense of community with our peers and with
    other members of society.
    b. To represent the students of Carleton University to the University Administration, to the public and
    public officials, to other Centres of learning, and to other organizations.
    c. To advance the cause of higher learning at Carleton University, and in the Province of Ontario, and the
    Dominion of Canada, and,
    d. To promote and assist in maintaining an academic and social environment free from prejudice,
    exploitation, abuse or violence on the basis of, but not limited to, sex, race, language, religion, age,
    national or social status, political affiliation or belief, sexual orientation or marital status.

    Upon a quick review it would appear that they really missed the boat on the first and last one.

    Morons lead by morons. Donnie Northrup the fourth year integrated science student who tabled the motion, is quoted as saying that writing is not something he’s focusing his degree on. Somebody tell Donnie, before he starts looking for work, even scientists need to be able to communicate.

    The Council members should resign.

    — Bryan    Nov 27, 01:28 AM    #

32. Cystic fibrosis is the leading fatal disease among young Canadians so it’s logical that university students might want to offer support .But if they want to support something else then they should be able to do that . So far so good .Now the problem !The addition of the rationale is simply wrong.If it had named woman , gays , Jews or Muslims we wouldn’t be talking or blogging about it , we would be on our way to court .Now the real problem !The rantings of Donnie Northrup #‘s 5 and 27 show that this was not just a slip or the result of lack of research or a tired student . This was purposeful . This was planned and supported .There must be consequences for Northrup the Stubent Government and indeed the University .Those people ( hi Rick )who want to dismiss it as right wing overreaction , clearly support this kind of thinking , underestimate it’s significance or themselves just want to be provacative .

33. Hello. I just wanted to clarify that there are multiple student organizations at Carleton. The one that passed the motion is the Carleton University Students’ Association (CUSA). Also appropriately called the student Union. CUSA does not call itself a student government as far as I know.

    There is also another organization, the Carleton Academic Student Government (CASG). CASG deals with academic issues by mandate.The organizations are seperate and CASG has not supported the motion.

    — Andrew Monkhouse    Nov 27, 01:51 PM    #

34. The issue here is not the main motion (to explore other charities) but the reason (white males are the main victims). As an analogy, it’s rather like saying that you want to support world peace (a noble notion) and then in the preamble saying that it’s because all the Jews keep causing trouble (huh?).

    To justify a blatent racially motivated motion simply because you want to check out other charities is very much a case of the ends not justifying the means.

    The clearly unrepentant posts of Donnie Northrup in this very thread make it clear that this really is a race issue to him, and to ignore a clearly racist motive for a decision is stupid, to say the least.

    RRO do support changing the preamble, so when you don’t choose to do so while voting, it’s natural to assume you support it.

    Finally, with the sole exception of death itself, I’m not aware of ANY disease that affect all groups equally.

    In reality, the only identifiable group that CF truly targets (as a genetic disease) is…children!

    — Ian McAnerin    Nov 27, 11:49 PM    #

35. What I really feel like doing here is telling Donnie to grab a clue, but that wouldn’t ultimately be very productive.

    Donnie, I know you think you’re doing good works. And I also have sympathy for the fact that you’ve been backed into a corner by an absolute horde after your slip-up on this issue.

    But on the other hand, “slip-up” doesn’t even begin to cover what you’ve done. By saying that you didn’t do proper research because you were too busy with school work can only mean one thing – you shouldn’t be on the Student’s Council. If you don’t have enough spare time to take even the five minutes you would have needed to see that your assumptions about CF were so very wrong, then you need to drop the extracurriculars so that somebody with more time can properly see to those duties. Anything less is an insult to your position on the council, and an insult to the many students who count on you to represent them properly.

    I won’t wade too deeply into the other major issue here, which is with respect to racism. You, sir, clearly do not understand the roots of racism. If you did, you would never have made this motion. Behind racism is what we call race-thinking, which is the conscious decision to look at a person and see a black person, or an East Asian person, or whatever. You need to start looking at people as a common group, united in its determination to combat all diseases and obstructions to justice against any other human being.

    Your misguided attempts to redress what you perceive as an imbalance in the fortunes of races are not helpful. Don’t ask what causes we should stop supporting. Ask what new ones we should direct new and even greater efforts toward. Get it?

37. Is it just me, or does the world really seem to be getting rapidly more and more insane every day? If you really think that the “inclusiveness” of the racial or sexual makeup of human targets that a disease affects is an idea that is remotely worth considering for one moment in whether it’s worth fighting that disease, then, you are brainwashed. And i don’t mean “brainwashed” like, oh so and so is an idiot; i mean you really are BRAINWASHED. You are awash in Marcuse-style Frankfurt school mumbo jumbo deconstructionist nonsense, and the proof is 9/10 people who’d believe such a thing have never heard of these terms of cultural marxism. I’m only in my 30s, but i can’t believe college kids are this incoherent and this incapable of thinking critically or rationally whatsoever. Makes me want to buy more arms for when the “revolution” comes a-knocking. Scary.

38. Just think if the student association had rejected the HIV/AIDS disease on the basis that it wasn’t ‘inclusive enough,’ because it primarily affected only the male homosexual population and male intravenous drug users…

    These students would have been labeled ‘bigots, homophobes, hatemongers’ – and on and on; you know the epithets…

    Apparently, Cystic Fibrosis isn’t ‘politically correct’ enough.

    What a complete joke!

    — John C    Nov 29, 07:02 AM    #

39. The motion including the preamble was clearly racist and sexist. The person who put it forward is a racist and has sexist tendencies. He should be reported as promulgating hate, and should either stand up for his views or offer his unambiguous apology to those he has turned his hatred towards. I would also suggest some ant- racism counseling.
    Those who voted in support should be standing up for their racism or offer apologies unequivocally as well, and be put into counseling. Anything less than a full apology is unacceptable.

40. Is cancer ‘inclusive” enough for these morons!

    — me    Nov 29, 03:13 PM    #

41. Hey, don’t blame Derrida, Marcuse, or the Frankfort School.
    The students need some help figuring out what are appropriate criteria for decision-making for their charity effort so they can make a reasonable decision with a reasonable rationale to back it up. Factors like how many Canadians or young people are affected are appropriate for them to consider, as are factors like how many research dollars are already available, potential impact of the donation, whether or not certain groups ought to receive preference (children, women, mentally ill, Indigenous Canadians, elderly, etc.), whether or not certain activities ought to be preferred (direct services, applied research, theoretical research, advocacy, etc.), and local vs. national vs. global priorities. Or they could target a basket of needs, so they are not tied to one or another group, like we do in the U.S. with the United Way.
    There is no reason to turn this into a right-wing campaign or to bash students. It is also not a reason to ignore diseases that primarily affect some groups over others based on racial reasoning. CF is a horrible disease that is 100% fatal and no one deserves to have it.

    — Tex    Nov 29, 08:08 PM    #

42. Donnie,

    I know it must come as a shock to see that four years of left wing academic indoctrination doesn’t sell in the real world. If you can get past the reflexive urge to defend yourself and what you’ve been brainwashed with by calling everyone who disagrees with you a “hater”, you will see this as what is is…your first opportunity to start learning what passes as coherent thought outside those university gates. Unless you plan to stick around there in the cloistered environment that breeds the nonsense you have been taught, this is as good a time as any to begin your real education. Good luck.

43. It might be interesting to those crying racism that Cystic Fibrosis appears to be more common among Jews. Of course, Canadian Universities (McGill comes to mind) are famous for anti-semitism. Universities in general, come to think of it. You are aware that that many of the pre-WWII pogroms in Eastern Europe were to a large extent accomplished by University students? (Don’t really mean to stereotype. It’s just interesting what happens when the mobs of people who think they are enlightened get together.)

    — Michael Krumbein    Nov 30, 04:23 PM    #

44. 44. Donnie is right to target the white males. We are the lowest form of humanity in the U.S.
    If we need a job, want to enroll in collage etc. the black females get first choice, then the black males get second choice, then the white females get third choice, all other ethnic groups get the fourth choice and if there is anything left the white male can apply.
    On racism your right again. The blacks have BET, Black Entertainment TV, can you imagine white only TV. They have the NAACP, can you imagine a white advancement group being allowed, how about Miss Black America. I could go on, but I think you get the picture.
    Oh, by the way Donnie, I do know about discrimination, I have a birth defect, and have been discriminated against all my life. So my advise to you is get over it and move on.

45. But Jews cry antisemitism all the time, Michael. It’s the same as others crying racist. What’s your point, if any? Jews always stand up for each other, do you have a problem when whites do the same thing?

    And why must Jews bring up the WW2 Holocaust for the 1,000,000,000 time at the drop of the hat? You Jews act like Jews are the only ones who have suffered. It’s getting very old.

    Also, In the interest of full disclosure, you should mention that Jews have been in the forefront of spreading far left anti-white political correctness. As a point of reference, about 78% of Jews voted for far-left Obama in the recent US elections

46. Well, I guess they can’t support Sickle-cell anemia,it affects mainly black people, or AIDS, which mainly affects gay people, or high blood pressure research which affects mainly black people, or Multiple-Schlerois which mainly affects mainly kids, or… well what the heck, they should just give up trying to find an “all inclusive” disease to support. The cheap bigots didn’t want to do something to make the world a better place, well fine and dandy.

I know medical research is THAT IMPORTANT to my daughter.
