Boy, they're really chopping off fingers here let me tell ya

quote:

quote:
In its strongest actions to date on the sexual harassment scandal at LSU, the university terminated Taylor Porter, its law firm for the past 80 years, and is preparing a “vote of disapproval” resolution saying the Board of Supervisors disapproves of three former members not telling the rest of the board about the allegation made in 2013 against then football coach Les Miles.

LSU administrators and board members have been pilloried for only suspending two employees and transferring two others after a scathing report last month by law firm Husch Blackwell that documented years of officials covering up sexual misconduct complaints made by students.



quote:
The university also is in the process of banning Derrius Guice from all future LSU activities and will remove his statistics from LSU record books.

The star running back was charged in three separate domestic violence incidents in 2020 and two women accused him of sexual assault while he was a freshman in 2016. A third LSU student had complained in 2016 that Guice had taken a partially nude photo of her, without her knowledge, then showed the pictures to his teammates.



quote:
LSU also handed an additional punishment to Verge Ausberry, an assistant athletic director who received a text message in 2018 from a football player who admitted to hitting his girlfriend. Ausberry did not report it to police or Title IX, and the player went on to abuse his girlfriend for several more months, breaking into her apartment and nearly strangling her one night.

Ausberry already has served a 30-day suspension without pay and is continuing training. The punishment was light because LSU, at the time, had confusing rules on to whom to report such incidents and his superiors had covered up similar instances in the past.

LSU interim President Tom Galligan said Friday night that administrators were looking for some additional way to discipline Ausberry that would be meaningful to him and decided on not allowing him to attend football games for the upcoming season.

All of that appears to carry some sort of weight, but I've been assured by LSU fans on this forum that nothing will come of any of it. Everything. Is. FINE.

I mean, why not just fire the wanker? What a horrible look. Not even trying. An emotional punishment


That's like if Arkansas took away Bobby's favorite motorcycle jacket and keys for a while. You're grounded!

As an LSU graduate, I find this incredibly embarrassing.

'Bama will keep beating LSU's arse whether anything comes of these seemingly never-ending/embarrassing headlines or not. Doesn't bother me one way or the other. Bitch.

There aren't words to describe how incredibly STUPID this is.

You're just going to close your eyes and pretend those things didn't happen? Really?

Grow the frick up. If you messed up in the way you handled the situation, fine but taking an eraser to history isn't going to fix one single thing that happened. It just makes you look dumber than you looked yesterday.

Oh no, not a vote of disapproval! How will they ever recover from such a crippling blow?
