What are some hot-button issues on campus?

Some hot-button issues on campus is what is the executive board going to do to make our school better. Things change here, but nothing too drastic. Other than that I do not know of any.

Education. I don't mean in the sense that you're getting an education - I mean anything circulating around teaching, especially in public schools. Training teachers is one of the biggest, if not the single largest, thing that UCM does. So, everything from curriculum to teaching techniques to changes in education legislation are always being talked about.

Some hot-button issues on campus are racial diversity and homosexuality. These issues are hot-button because nobody really feels comfortable discussing them. On one parade float, there were some rude things written about these two groups. I don't think these issues are that big of a deal to turn people away from UCM, because these issues are "hot-button" everywhere you go.
