The Chair Of The Ursinus Board Of Trustees Has A Twitter, And It's Horrifying
Ursinus College

On July first, a man named Michael Marcon, class of 1986 alumnus and Equity Risk Partners CEO, became the Chair of the Board of Trustees at Ursinus. As a generally liberal campus, or at least one that makes an effort to respect all people, one would think that our board—and espe

cially its Chairman—would

reflect those values. Or, at the very least, make his public social media accounts not openly degrading to almost every single demographic. Here's the evidence that proves otherwise:

1. This image, which isn't at all sarcastic:


2. This tweet that apparently doesn't understand modern diverse cultures at all.


3. This link to a Ben Carson speech.


4. Because apparently, he's too good to wait in line like everyone else.


5. And he's also now the Selfie Police.


6. An obvious demonstration of serious anti-liberalism and potential racism. Is it really that "insane" that an incumbent president got reelected? Is it?


7. Well, if this isn't classism, generalizing, and a whole bunch of other stuff, I don't know what is.


8. THIS IS TEXTBOOK SEXISM, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.



9. Aaand outright fat shaming. Lovely.

10. Are you? Are you really more important than EVERY other person on the road?


11. Don't you just love violence?


12. Apparently the entire government doesn't understand how the economy works as well as he does. And the country doesn't need funding to run.


13. Because women should shut up.

14. Just...what?


15. That's definitely how it works.


17. Political protests are now "ironic."


18. And, for good measure, another solid dose of body shaming.


This man is the Chairman of the Board. This is not a drill.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
