Jennifer Kabbany of The College Fix, on how grassroots conservatives rallied around College Republicans at UNC-Chapel Hill:
The fundraiser was started in response to the UNC student government’s decision Tuesday nightnot to give the College Republicans enough money to bring in the two women to speak, calling Pavlich and McElhinney “non-academics” with unimpressive resumes who would not add value to the educational mission on campus. The fact that the women have lengthy and decorated resumes as investigative reporters was dismissed by the student congress, which only gave College Republicans $3,000 of the $8,000 needed to cover the women’s honorariums.
