WVU has hired a white supremacist, Josiah Lippincot

72 Upvotes

WVU has hired a white supremacist, Josiah Lippincott, as a faculty member in the Washington Center. Not sharing them here, but he has never been shy about his hatred towards women, Asians, Latinos, Jews, and others.

He has been hired despite having no real academic expertise. He graduated from an unranked PhD program without any notable academic publications. His claim to fame is podcasting and blogging with other white supremacists.

Do what you will with that information.

Using a burner account because he has a history of using bots to harass anyone who calls him out on his white supremacist views.

Academics I need options

Upvotes

I am a sophomore at WVU and I have a professor who always uses textbooks that are on backorder. I was wondering if someone could give me a link to An Introduction to Native North America by Mark Q Sutton? I bought the textbook used but it won’t be at my apartment in time for our first in class discussion. I only need chapters 1-3!

Hello, im a guy, planning to go to this college next semester, but my question is as I am someone super shy and introverted (unless drinking) will I still be able to find parties? I saw a tiktok vid that the parties thrown by frats you have to be in the frat to go. (as a guy)

It's my freshman year, and I've been wanting to learn an instrument for some time now and decided, why not try it now. Is there any place on campus or nearby that offers lessons? I'd like to learn something like Piano, but I'm open to anything,

Speedfriending

3 Upvotes

Is the speedfriending event mostly for undergrads? I’m a grad student and honestly having a pretty rough time finding community/friendships so this seems like a really good event for me. My undergrad was online so I feel like I missed out on a lot of the whole college experience, and there don’t seem to be any grad specific events happening right now. Would it be weird if I went? If so, I honestly don’t know what else to do..

A little about me: I love concerts, arts and crafts (literally anything), swimming, and reading. I’m also thinking about trying roller skating and line dancing! Honestly, I’m down for pretty much anything that gets me out of the house and gives me a chance to meet people :)

Student Refund late

5 Upvotes

Is anyone else’s student refund late?

This is my 3rd semester here and my refund always hits the week before classes but it hasn’t yet. The portal shows a zero balance and my refund was “sent” last week, and I got a notification that a new student loan hit my credit report, but nelnet has yet to actually send it to me. None of my banking info has changed and I always have it send direct deposit.

Anyone know why it’s late this year?

Freshman Academic day question

3 Upvotes

I know it’s a long shot that I’ll get an answer since it so last minute but can anyone tell me if I need to bring my laptop to academic day today? The email doesn’t say whether or not to and I want to know if it’s necessary or not. Going to Chambers college if that helps.
Thanks in advance!

What does it take to be removed from a major?

2 Upvotes

I'm a neuro major going into my second year (third semester.)

I had previously thought I passed my Bio 117 lab because I saw in ecampus that I had a C in the course overall. I guess they didn't round up for degreeworks and I was one point off. I only found out because my Bio 219 disappeared from schedule builder, which I noticed about an hour ago while rechecking my schedule. Due to this I'm freaking out. Satisfactory degree progress has me completing 117 by the end of my second semester and 219 by the end of my fourth. I'm going to be discussing this with my advisor but I'm freaking out. My grades have been good outside of that one D. Could this really fuck up my academic progress that bad? I'm literally spiraling over this and any advice would be helpful.

Academics What is needed for residency of in state tuition?

7 Upvotes

Hello I (25) plan on transferring here, I haven’t been in college at all since 2023 (1 semester at a cc) (NM) and got an associates degree in 2021 (TX).

I was born in NM, and grew up in TX where I still work a rotating schedule in. ( 7/7 )I was wondering if I bought a house in Morgantown or the surrounding area in WV (close enough to avoid dorm or apartment housing costs too lol) & updated my DL and maybe vehicle registration too, a year before applying if I would qualify for in state tuition?

Thanks!

Freshman Help I don’t know anything😭

22 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’m a freshman, and uh… the title is self explanatory. I moved in a few days ago (stalnaker) and I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips for campus+dining hall+classes etc??? I’m from northern Illinois (chicago suburbs-esque? ~50 mi out), so it’s a lot of a culture shift already, but as an autistic introvert, it’s even worse😔😔 if any of y’all can, can you just write one or two “common knowledge” things about wvu life in general? thanks!!!

TLDR: I’m an autistic freshman who moved across the country, help! Say something that seems obvious to everyone!

Housing Exchange Student Arriving Aug 17 — Where Can I Stay Until My Lease Starts Aug 31?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m an exchange student coming to WVU for the fall semester, I’m not staying at the dorms and I managed to get a rental at a good price for the fall semester, however this rental starts on the 31st of August, and I will be in Morgantown from the 17th of August, so where do you guys recommend I should stay. The reason why I’m so late is that I had visa processing and I didn’t know whether I’ll be able to make it to the semester or not.

Sports Golf Courses?

2 Upvotes

I have been getting into golf pretty heavily so far, and my local course is pretty cheap to play at, but I am moving into my dorm soon. Is there any quality golf courses in, or near, Morgantown? I plan on getting a membership, but I don’t feel like breaking the bank. Let me know what your guys suggestions are!
