As you may know, The Roger Williams University College Republicans will be handing out their "White Scholarship" today in protest of Affirmative Action. This scholarship has caused tremendous amounts of national media attention. (go to rwucr.com for more details) Here is the latest New York Times article

In fact, the state Republican chair has come out condemning the actions of Jason Mattera and the Roger Williams CR's. As shown in this ProJo article.

About an hour ago, I was contacted by local talk-radio host, Brian Bishop. He wants to have some College Republicans on air at 4pm TODAY to discuss the issue, but the Roger Williams CR's are busy fielding national media attention, as well as potential disciplinary action.

Is there anyone who feels strongly about this issue that wants to discuss it on the radio today? If you are free from 4-5pm today, Mr. Bishop would love to have you come down to his studio. Let me emphasize it doesn't matter whether you support the white scholarship, or you oppose it. He would like to hear from either viewpoint. (The studio is within walking distance, and I would be going there with you, so it's no problem getting there)
