It turns out that Youth for Western Civilization will get to keep their UNC student organization thanks to Chancellor Holden Thorp asking faculty members to serve as the group’s advisory panel.

One of those faculty members is Professor of Physics & Astronomy Chris Clemens who stepped down as YWC’s initial advisor last spring.

Clemens colleague from the Physic’s department professor Hugon Karwowski  volunteered to be the third advisor on the panel.

Last Friday, Psychology Professor Elliot Cramer was asked by Thorp to step down as the group’s second advisor. Elliot had responded via email that he knew how to use a gun when he was informed that unauthorized brochures with his home address and picture was being distributed on campus.

The other advisory panelist is Jon Curtis who serves as the Director of Student Groups and Organizations for the university.

Besides sharing a work load, Clemens says the idea of an advisory panel helps cement the group’s status within the university.

Clemens says he still has some reservations about advising the group.

YWC plans to bring former U.S. Treasurer Bay Buchanan to campus in October.
