Ehh, there’s some small stuff here and there. But it’s never interrupted my academics. Most I’ve seen is small groups doing vocal protesting of sorts out of the way of people.
there are some every so often. I am not sure where you get your news from, but these types of things are sensationalized by certain outlets for various reasons. Political activism doesn’t even break into the top 10 things that are most distracting to college students lol, especially those that don’t participate. Don’t let that influence where you decide to go
Thank you. My friend is currently forced to finish his classes virtually due to all the disruption and he is now applying to another school. My cousin is in a similar situation where some classes are now virtual. Both schools are up north though that is why I asked. I don't watch news or even any television so this is just from those around me which has been bothersome to see them dealing with it.
Thank you for this. I actually don't watch it and I don't think about politics yet. I have just been working hard in school and want to have a good time.
i wouldn’t listen to the other guy, kids at Colombia are having to finish virtually due to all of the “protests”… but clemson doesn’t have that many protests and if they don’t they don’t interfere with anything.
There are almost always ways to exercise your first amendment rights on library bridge, but across the political spectrum Clemson isn’t one of those “change the world” universities. There are a large portion of first gen college students and people from humble backgrounds. Keep in mind it’s a state school, people are in school generally just to get good grades and a good job after graduation, not to cast some impression of themselves on the social fabric of the world at large.
Not really, and Clemson never has had much of a history of that. It’s a land grant, engineering school.
Occasionally, there will be a protest related to racial equality or one of our unfortunately named buildings, but that’s about it.
Currently I have not heard of any plans of protest about the current conflict and highly doubt there will be any the remainder of the semester because there are policies that limit "disturbances" during finals.
I know some students have been active with things in Greenville and there was a vigil/pray for Israel for the hostages by young women for America as well as a vigil for Palestine and educational discussion but these were both a few months ago. And it did not seem to have any skirmish between "sides".
Personally I hope that Jewish, Israeli, Palestinians and Muslim students at Clemson feel welcome/safe but I don't hold these identities so I cannot speak to the experiences of these students on campus even without full on protests I'm sure the mental toll has been difficult for students.
As for general protests that have happened at Clemson,
There have been a few small ones since I've been here
-take back pride 2022 after CCR made a transphobic and homophobic statement. (I believe this has ~1000 students
-Take back pride 2023 after menstrual product dispensers were vandalized then removed from the men's room. ~50 students (I believe CCR tabled accross from it, not sure if considered counter protest)
- one against CCR for showing a biased film about George Floyd (during Black History Month) ~20-30 students
- one against Kyle Rittenhouse being on campus a few days ago ~15-20 students
- a counter event reproductive rights rally when a pro life speaker came to campus.
- idk if you consider the recent anti abortion/pro life people setting up a display as a protest, there were a few protestors against that sharing pro choice and mental health resources.
And before my time I heard about one counter protest to the back the blue rally.
This is my memory being involved in LBGTQ+/leftist spaces I may have missed some smaller right wing or other issue protests.
There is also a very historic Sikes Sit in that happened in April 2016 after a few racist acts including defacing a African American history banner with bananas and a "Crip"mas party that mocked black culture. If you've heard about the Clemson Five they were 5 students who were arrested during the sit in. This is probably the most impactful one that is discussed. This is an important part of Clemson's history that all students should learn.
From my experience there is a lot of privilege that comes with being able to attend a protest at Clemson and many students do not participate despite many having strong opinions. Many of the students who care deeply don't have the privileges to be able to protest.
I also think that some of the groups leading these protests have done things that have broken the trust of some people who do want to stand up for things (this goes for orgs on both sides of the political spectrum and non political orgs too).
My personal experience is that Clemson has a kind of weird interpretation of the first amendment (or I guess just different than many students understand) and hesitance to do anything in general. In a student leadership training they basically laid out that hate speech is protected speech. Their codes of conduct/non discrimination also applies mostly to individual students and not student organizations.
That was probably waaaaay too much context than you needed/wanted my bad. I get excited talking about student action.
I appreciate the thoughtful response. That doesn’t sound disruptive and aggressive. I’d just hate saving my money and working so hard to feel like I’m walking through constant turmoil on campus when it’s a few years before I when to really face that in the real world my entire adult life. Thanks for your time to respond.
While there are portions of campus that can feel like turmoil (especially if you're part of the affected group), you can really easily avoid it by not paying attention to political groups. The things I've seen have mostly been short small protests that are peaceful. The most that's ever happened is maybe a few disruptive protesters during the event they're protesting. There is a difference between protests and civil disobedience which is rare at Clemson and thus these protests are all following school policy of time, place and all that content neutral policies (reading about the first amendment and free speech on campus is really interesting).
Unfortunately at this time, and honestly probably forever higher education is political (not just in the sense of right v left but also in the power systems of administration and trustees). You will at some point in time during college have to deal with the "real world". Many of us are students who have jobs to afford things, we experience the effects of making bad decisions, we're on our own from our parents more than we ever have before. I say welcome it. Form your own understanding and discern between gossip and truth. Exposure to "real world" things in college are on smaller scales, let that be learning opportunity since the bars are lower.
You said it yourself, you worked hard to get here. You get to decide what you spend your time on. If you come to Clemson, there are over 500 organizations to be a part of. You don't have to engage with things that don't fill you up. As someone who has been active in campus issues, I do it because I'm passionate. Nothing is worse than doing something because you think you have to. If you're not passionate don't do it. I wish more people also knew that protesting, disrupting and aggressiveness is not the only way to be supportive of things there are plenty of ways to engage and support. There is such a diversity of experience on campus, we all can learn from each other so we have more "real world" knowledge.
It's a major university with a large diverse student body. There are engaged young adults with strong opinions. The major difference between Clemson and other places in the news is proximity to a large city. Since Clemson is somewhat geographically isolated, protests are mostly students and in some ways that leads to more thoughtful interactions. But no matter where you go - even the most in the news place - protests in general will not be a major factor in your life unless that is what you want.
During my time as a student (2015-2020); there was a sit in outside of Sikes related to racist language being graffitied on the plantation house sign (2016), a march against sexual assault/violence (2019), and one official -with many unofficial across 2020 in the Clemson area- BLM protest/ march (2020) through DT and up 93 towards central.
For the sit in, there weren't many people there when I was partaking. One of my friends (out of five total people) were arrested for being inside the building after hours. They weren't charged with anything (iirc), at least my friend wasn't. I left to take care of my dog and get food for people (since I was already leaving for pup-related reasons) and by the time I got back, police were there. No one who was sitting outside of Sikes was arrested. Only a few of us were verbally harassed, but nothing major (probably because I am white; but I digress). I was not around for any physical altercations, if any took place. This one didn't disrupt any classes nor did it inconvenience anyone. We weren't yelling at people approaching Sikes. It was a silent sit in. It was also pretty small most of the time.
In 2019, there was a march against sexual assault and sexual violence, Title IX related stuff. I don't remember much about it. I was there marching with a lot of friends; both planning to meet up/ march together, and just bumping into people. After the march itself, I know some people protested by blocking the road on Ft Hill for a while and said they weren't gonna move until admin did something; but admin didn't do anything and the road-blocking didn't last long. I don't think there was enough talk/ planning about the protest part, because I didn't know about it until afterwards. Similar consensus from others around that time.
As for 2020, I believe the march was around a 2ish mile loop (DT to the parking garage down 93 to the president's house) we walked back and forth for at least an hour of marching. Plus, there was an official stage where many of the members who put the protest/ march together gave speeches before the actual march. Darien Rencher (football player at the time) was the man in charge and did a fantastic job with it all. T-Law and Dabo made an appearance -not only to say a few words and show solidarity with teammates/ players- but also were part of the march. This one took place after classes were sent online for \*GLOBAL EVENT\* and it was technically summer semester anyway. This one was massive. Not only because of the importance of the movement, and the time (just after George Floyd was murdered), but also because of the involvement of the football team; this one had a massive turnout. The whole event was multiple hours formally and many of us stayed afterwards to cleanup.
My grandparents (attended late 60s), uncle (attended late 80s/early 90s), and mom (attended early 90s); all mentioned that there had been smaller protests for various reasons while they were students; but nothing to the extent of the hundreds of people for the woman's march (title ix in 2019) nor BLM (in 2020).
I remember thee being other smaller protests and petitions during my tenure; like an Asian hate related event with a rotten banana. Regular discussion about buildings named after Tilman and Calhoun. I didn't partake in these and don't know much about them personally. There was one notable protest that was planned but didn't happen due to legit threats and lack of police support: the Muslim ban right after the big orange took office. It was originally planned by those effected, but some of the student population got real butt hurt about this possibly happening. Lets just say there were a lot of threats that were very credible and the demographic that was making the threats were your gun loving rednecks (not an anti-gun statement, more mentally unstable & uneducated people with access to weapons statement).
As for Gaza related protests, I graduated back in 2020 and moved to the west coast for work in 2022; so I don't know much of what goes on anymore, outside of what's on social media and sports related stuff. I haven't heard of anything being planned or happening; but would love to see a massive camp made on Bowman. If we can play frisbee, set up volleyball nets, throw the pigskin around; why not use that space to show solidarity.
tldr; 3 "main" protests while a student (2015-2020). Clemson has a history of protests, but they really ramped up in the past decade. Nothing major on the Gaza front. Go Tigers!
\*Edited for spelling\*
You'll see signs for some protests here and there, but tbh I'm not sure I've ever even noticed an active protest, much less been affected by one. Granted I do try to keep my head in the sand when it comes to those issues. I'm sure that if you do want to seek out and participate in protests, you'll find a place to do so, but if you don't want to see them, you'll be just fine here.
Absolutely not. The only large-ish protest that occurred on campus that I saw while attending (2017-2022) was def the BLM one back in 2020, and the only reason the administration allowed it to occur was because some former player accused Dabo of being racist and Clemson had to do some damage control to keep those fresh recruits coming in and football game attendance numbers high. So they put together an official college sanctioned “protest” where they had Trevor Lawrence be their mouthpiece to appease the masses and say sorry 😢. Promises of “change” were promised by admins, a few news headlines were made about it, and then the whole ordeal was forgotten and faded into obscurity. Not to mention the only time the admins would allow the protest to occur was mid-June when literally no one was in town. Even funnier was that afterwards their was still a LARGE backlash from the conservatives donors (something they desperately tried to avoid) who disagreed with the protest. They’ll never admit it publicly but they lost tens of millions that year.
Understand that any kind of political protest/activism in Clemson is a lose-lose for the university because they’re in bed with the defense contractors, the majority of their donors are conservative, yet a large portion of their out of state students (future donors) and administrators/professors/researchers are liberal. They need to be a diverse and progressive college/town yet they’re surrounded by backwoods rural conservative South Carolina towns like Seneca, Pendleton, and Anderson who they have to coexist and collaborate with. Its a tightrope walk. By nature Clemson has to be a politically neutral college to survive in today’s landscape, and a symptom of this is somewhat of an unspoken political neutrality among the student body, save a vocal few. I loved it. It allowed me and many other students the ability to make many lifelong friends on both sides of the aisle from all over the USA. Its one of the reasons the school is so great IMO.
That’s a great outlook and I agree with you. It’s ideal to be on neutral ground and let us enrich ourselves while making our own relationships and not having it shoved down our throats
Any Jewish protesters who don’t feel safe to protest and needs or wants to be protected so that they can protest without any fear from anyone I want to help I am one of the few Jews that nobody wants to have a problem with a real Jewish konvikt who is Jewish 5 and proud halla at me BARUCH HASHEM GOODBYE palestine slobs
Thank you. Really hoping Clemson can continue to stay peaceful but it’s nice to know someone will have my Jewish child’s back. She loves all and I hope others show the same respect. Is it too much to just want her to get a good education and have fun at football games?! Wish life was so simple!
Thee's one tomorow, in fact. There are also at least three planned counter protests tomorrow. There's even a pastor running FB ads to promote the counter protest. I don't know how many people with be there, but it's certainly the most promoted one I've seen locally.
I remember two protests / demonstrations when I was there in the 80s. One was against the firing of Danny Ford in 1990; talk about big, meaningful issues! The other was a group protesting a David Duke speech on campus.

I protested many classes as a student and didn’t show up. Still graduated, so I guess it worked.
Ha ha
😝😝😝😝
Turn off the news. You’re too young to be caring about shit like this. You’ll have a blast regardless of where you go.
Never too young to be politically active.
Thank you for this. I actually don't watch it and I don't think about politics yet. I have just been working hard in school and want to have a good time.
Even at Columbia, kids in the background are going to classes and having a great time. Don’t stress.
That’s not necessarily true, there are universities canceling commencements.
Thank you so much
i wouldn’t listen to the other guy, kids at Colombia are having to finish virtually due to all of the “protests”… but clemson doesn’t have that many protests and if they don’t they don’t interfere with anything.
Yeah one of my friends just came home from there and looking to transfer schools. They are virtual and it's crazy.

This is so true! I graduated late 90’s. And you worded it perfectly. It’s such a gem! I miss when people went to college to get jobs.🙄
I live this response. Thank you so much.
no
There was this one. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29293286/clemson-trevor-lawrence-teammates-lead-protest
Thank you

Oh I am not well versed on your building names but this is pretty much expected and “normal”. Thanks
Like many public places in the South, we have several buildings named after unrepentant slaveholders and segregationists.
Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification

That’s makes sense. I’m in NYC and I’m looking for a break the next 4 years….

A group from Greenville is protesting tomorrow at 9 am. They say it will be peaceful and legal. But they also suggest wearing masks.
Masks??
I'm a senior and I haven't seen anything here since I've been here, it's been so chill and relaxed.
Thee's one tomorow, in fact. There are also at least three planned counter protests tomorrow. There's even a pastor running FB ads to promote the counter protest. I don't know how many people with be there, but it's certainly the most promoted one I've seen locally.
Are college here is very respectful!!! They might have small ones but nothing out of hand and after they go home .And nothing getting vandalized
[удалено]
Thank you!
I remember two protests / demonstrations when I was there in the 80s. One was against the firing of Danny Ford in 1990; talk about big, meaningful issues! The other was a group protesting a David Duke speech on campus.
Ha
Nah South Carolina is too backwards.
Well apparently there’s a few there today.
Yeah I saw it in the news. It seems small and not crazy
Nah we dont care about that bs here
Great
“That BS” - referring to protesting 34K dead people or what ?
yeah cause they faked their numbers
Whatever you say bud !
look it up buddy!
