On July first, a man named Michael Marcon, class of 1986 alumnus and Equity Risk Partners CEO, became the Chair of the Board of Trustees at Ursinus. As a generally liberal campus, or at least one that makes an effort to respect all people, one would think that our board—and espe
cially its Chairman—would reflect those values. Or, at the very least, make his public social media accounts not openly degrading to almost every single demographic. Here's the evidence that proves otherwise:1. This image, which isn't at all sarcastic:
2. This tweet that apparently doesn't understand modern diverse cultures at all.
3. This link to a Ben Carson speech.
4. Because apparently, he's too good to wait in line like everyone else.
5. And he's also now the Selfie Police.
6. An obvious demonstration of serious anti-liberalism and potential racism. Is it really that "insane" that an incumbent president got reelected? Is it?
7. Well, if this isn't classism, generalizing, and a whole bunch of other stuff, I don't know what is.
8. THIS IS TEXTBOOK SEXISM, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
9. Aaand outright fat shaming. Lovely.
10. Are you? Are you really more important than EVERY other person on the road?
11. Don't you just love violence?
12. Apparently the entire government doesn't understand how the economy works as well as he does. And the country doesn't need funding to run.
13. Because women should shut up.![]()
14. Just...what?
15. That's definitely how it works.
17. Political protests are now "ironic."
18. And, for good measure, another solid dose of body shaming.
This man is the Chairman of the Board. This is not a drill.
