Talk:Student government political party

More examples[edit]

Some other universities that seem to have these parties. I'm not saying the sources below are all reliable - some may be, some definitely aren't - just that they're clues as to where else this happens, which might help someone find better ones and put something in the article:

Columbia University - [1]
University of Memphis - [2]
Florida Gulf Coast University - [3]
University of Michigan-Dearborn - [4]
Brooklyn University - Bush, Melanie E. L. (16 January 2011). Everyday Forms of Whiteness: Understanding Race in a 'Post-Racial' World. Rowman & Littlefield. pp. 71–78. ISBN 978-0-7425-9997-0.

(that section of the book refers repeatedly to "Working Together Always" and "The Liberal Party" at Brooklyn)

Lawrence Technological College - [5]
UCSB - [6]

Of course, what would be really valuable isn't examples but sources discussing the idea of these parties in general, talking about their nature, origins etc. I haven't found that yet. Mortee (talk) 17:43, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A couple more, anyway -

University of Georgia - particularly the Campus Conservative Club and the Union of American People - Cohen, Robert; Snyder, David J. (20 March 2013). Rebellion in Black and White: Southern Student Activism in the 1960s. JHU Press. pp. 175–188. ISBN 978-1-4214-0850-7.
University of Chicago - one for the history section? Independent Students League founded 1948 - Pope, Alexander (2006). "Un-American Activity Searches Hit the Illinois Region". In Schwartz, Eugene G. (ed.). American Students Organize: Founding the National Student Association After World War II : an Anthology and Sourcebook. American Students Organize. pp. 390–393. ISBN 978-0-275-99100-5.
University of Liberia - [7]
York University, Toronto - [8]

One general one:

Walker, Kenneth N.; Weinberg, Ian (27 January 2017). "A Typology of Student Politics and Political Systems". In Feldman, Kenneth A. (ed.). College and Student: Selected Readings in the Social Psychology of Higher Education. Elsevier Science. pp. 427–433. ISBN 978-1-4831-8691-7.
- But this is talking more about wider political parties having branches on campus, rather than campus political parties per se. If you do use it, there'll be a better way to cite it, since the paper was published in a longer form in the American Journal of Sociology in 1969.

There is at least least one article online discussing the idea of these parties in general, it is about whether USC should have them like UCLA does.--I'm on day 4 (talk) 23:57, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

More secondary sources[edit]

More secondary sources would be greatly appreciated, thank you!--I'm on day 4 (talk) 08:40, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
