Money, Military and Marquette have been something we have been talking about for years. We know Marquette University has a contract with the Department of Defense to host regional military officer training schools for the Army, Navy/Marines and Air Force. Before writing our Letter to the Provost of Marquette University a few of asked if we could see the contracts with the Department of Defense. He smiled at us and said we would never see those contracts.
Maybe he was right but in this information age is surprising how much information on any subject is on the web. Tonight I goggled Department of Defense Marquette University contract and got 1, 820, 000 hits. I did not have the time to refine the search and check out all the information of money, Marquette and Military but there is a gold mine of information. What struck me was the amount of money Marquette donated to political campaigns, mainly Democrats and the amount Marquette spent of lobbyist. Watch out Mr. Provost the wall of secrecy that surrounds Marquette and the military is about to fall the money machine of the hosting Teaching War and Killing.
Does anyone care but just like some of the families of children killed in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown we must try, for the children, to bring common sense into the big business of money, military and Universities?
Marquette University responds to us by ignoring our cry about the insanity of teaching killing on campus or they do silly little token things like ban one person from campus for protesting, praying and doing research in the library.
I feel a little under the weather tonight so it makes it hard to talk about anything, especially money, military and Marquette.
