Partisan student leaders discuss U.Va.'s political climate, efforts to fight apathy
By AJ Frank | December 3, 2003The University of Virginia, like any other university, contains a plethora of young students who can have deeply held political beliefs. University students often have been the ones throughout history to incite change and even revolution. There are numerous political organizations here at the University made up of opinionated students all ready to fight for their particular cause, though some members of these groups say students could be more engaged and involved. "I think there is a very apathetic atmosphere here at the University and this leads to not thinking about issues, which leads to a liberal perspective towards things," said third-year College student Ali Ahmad, chair of events for the College Republicans.
