re: EX Alabama Racist Student

She was just trying to fit in with the rest of bammer students. I think she even used this as a defense

She's a racist Yankee she's from New Jersey.

that goes to Alabama

No prob with kicking her about. What are they doing to Scarborough for saying F Trump on video?

Exactly - this is the sort of stuff you run into when you just start willy nilly making ultimate decisions like this without a specific policy and punishment structure in place.

Good for the school making that easy decision. Those videos made me cringe.

One is saying he doesn’t like a single person and the other is saying she hates an entire group of people solely because of the color of their skin. I’m fine if you don’t think she should be expelled, but these aren’t the same.

nothing because he didn't use racist language, I'd imagine.

you get called a racist UNLESS you are on the side of the liberal.

So the guy in 2015 that posted all over the internet as “Arthur Pendragon” threatening to kill all of the racist frat members on campus shouldn’t be kicked out of school because Free Speech?

Classic bait-and-switch. But I will hand it to you - at least you are consistent

Do we know for sure there is no specific policy structure in place? It was referred to the Office of Student Council. And I'd imagine they have a protocol to follow in these situations. I'm not sure who is ultimately left with the decision to expel a student though.

It's likely moot anyway. I'm guessing she would have withdrawn and gone back to NJ anyway based on the public backlash it received.

Good riddance.

Her sorority sisters who were in the 2nd video and were backing her weren’t Yankees.

Without looking at a chapter roster, I would guess Alpha Phi is 75-85% out of state girls.

It's full of pretty, slutty, dumb girls from California and the Northeast.

They have the lowest GPA on campus and the only girls from Alabama I know who pledge Alpha Phi have a sub-2.8 GPA - that's the only way ANY girl from Alabama pledges there.

If other lower tiered older sororities took those low GPA girls I don't think there would be more than 10 total in state girls in Alpha Phi. If an in state girl is going to pledge one of those houses they would rather be in one that's been on campus 50+ years (DZ, ADPi, ZTA etc.) than one that's been around less than 15 years.

BYU is a private school, though, not a state-run school. Back when I was in school, this sort of rant was not uncommon to hear in a fraternity house or at the frattier bars. Even visiting high school friends at other SEC schools or smaller schools like Rhodes, Valdosta State, or Sewanee you’d hear some kids drop racial slurs. The difference these days is that social media is now a part of everyone’s day to day life and kids do not realize that the shite they put out there is NOT PRIVATE. She is a fricking moron and Alabama admissions should have to answer for accepting someone that dumb into the university. What she said was reprehensible and disgusting, but I don’t think she should be expelled for it. Ostracized? Shunned? Mocked and ridiculed by her fellow students until she transfers? Yes. But I do not think a state school should expel someone for their opinions, no matter how ridiculous those opinions are. It’s far too slippery of a slope, if you ask me.
