I'm fascinated by this. When I was coming of age in a '70s-era lily-white suburb of Detroit, "Jig" and "Jigaboo" were terms as common as dirt. Those were the good terms. The other terms were Jungle Bunnies, Niggers, Darkies and Liver Lips.
Innocent man may be sentenced to life in prison because of who he knows.
One of the 15 people being tried for benefiting from gang crimes is on trial because he posed in facebook photos with known gang members. The DA says he 'benefited' by increasing his street cred, which is now apparently a tangible thing one can measure.
Pretty soon all black males over 15 in an area with gangs will be considered enemy combatants, er I mean gang members.
A letter included in Holloway’s email, signed “the Brothers of SAE,” admitted that members of the Yale chapter, in an initiation ceremony, “made a presentation that was found to be in violation of the university’s policy on sexual misconduct.”
The letter continued, “The incident of last spring does not represent the values of our fraternity. The presentation was not supported by the fraternity, nor were members of the fraternity made aware of the content of the presentation prior to its delivery. We sincerely apologize for the harms we caused.
Quote:
In 2009, following an investigation of SAE, social restrictions were placed on the fraternity and its members went through training relating to sexual harassment, sexual assault and responsible alcohol use, the investigation noted.
Once the shit bags are kicked out of their odious frat house by midnight tomorrow, they're on their own in finding new housing. As the university's president said, "We don't provide student services to bigots."
Buh-bye, guys! And good bad luck with the rest of your wretched lives.
When I first heard about this, I assumed the U. prez would call a news conference to appoint a select committee to appoint a subcommittee that would be charged with studying the problem for the next sixteen years and then submitting a fourteen-point action plan report to make sure such abuses don't recur by the year 2115. Instead he kicked some p. good ass.
He even looks kinda mean, like an aging punch-drunk ex-boxer who'd be happy to punch your lights out again if he feels like it.

I must say, this is one kick-ass-and-take-names kind of university president. Pretty refreshing.
David Boren was a very popular Governor of Oklahoma, left that office to serve in the Senate for 15 years. Might have been our last somewhat real Democrat.

Apparently OU has moved to expel a couple of these shitheels. It makes me uncomfortable to see a state school expelling students for speech (apparently on a charter bus off campus) merely because the content of the speech is despicable. The "hostile learning environment" reasoning would appear to indict first and foremost the person who made the video public. Kicking the stupid frat off campus is not a problem, but they're headed into a due process fight now as they mess with a property interest in an education. OU must be confident that they'll win, or at least that a loss down the road is worth the PR now. They've done a good job so far.

They probably mocked him behind his back, regarding him as slave labor doing the chores for Massa. "Lookie here, massa, I made dese here scrambled egg special for you!" they'd mock amid rollicking laughter, and then go out on the town to "slay some pussy," a Manosphere trope to which they no doubt also subscribe.

My question is this: Don't schools have a code of conduct or terms of service or suchlike? Is it possible to expel students for otherwise protected speech on grounds of violations of whatever code they agreed to adhere to? If so, seems like Boren should have emphasized that.
Also, if OU loses, what would the consequences likely be?
There are speech restricting codes of conduct at many universities. I know because the Office of Intellectual Freedom is against them. But we lose as many battles as we win, so there you have it.
