Private college, refused to sign federal Title IX compliance forms, gave up all Stafford loans and any other government involvements, located in a small town.

"Dry" town is revitalizing and many citizens want a liquor question on the May ballot to the point of obtaining enough signatures to have the question placed on the May primary ballot in hope of attracting some upscale restaurants.

College now plans to campaign against this issue on campus via its registered students and staff to try to keep this town dry. This college, in its sales pitch to parents, emphasize this is a "dry" church community.

Problem is there are three club bars in town with many beer distributors, a liquor stop and several bars in nearby townships. The students of this town are famous for frequenting township bars and renting social clubs for their alcohol related parties. Rather hypocritical.

Point is, how can a college that owns more tax free real estate than the entire town, use its "tax-free" facility to influence local politics. (P.S., this is not the first time as they are famous for throwing out politicians who do not agree with their antics)

Tax free churches are not permitted to politic from the pulpit so how is this campus?

Answers? Comments? Opinions?

P.S. Moderators, if this belongs in another forum, please move it. Thanks
