Western Washington University cancels classes because someone said something hurtful on the interwebs.

I'm not kidding. Even law enforcement said there was no threat, yet the school's president shut down classes and everyone's screaming about evil racism.

There's even a hilarious video of students gathering together to rally against the racism and it's a bunch of white students.

Oh white guilt, will you ever end?

I think someone was just looking for an excuse to have the whole week off for the holiday, instead of just the last three days.

Black woman says frat members called her racial slurs from windows of campus house.

Frat provides security video that shows her on that day walking by unmolested. Then they show that the windows she claimed they were calling from have been sealed for years.

College puts frat on probation.

A bunch of women are suing the U of TN over their "sexual discrimination" in dealing with rape accusations. About 7 paragraphs down you see what their problem is:
The plaintiffs say that UT’s administrative hearing process, which is utilized by public universities across the state, is unfair because it provides students accused of sexual assault the right to attorneys and to confront their accusers through cross-examination and an evidentiary hearing in front of an administrative law judge.


They don't want the people accused of rape to be allowed legal representation.

According to reports, police say Montague does not face criminal charges in New Haven and that there is no active investigation involving him.


Guilty. Fuck you, get out, no trial.

The macro-struggle of mankind is the fight against that very trend.

I think mankind is losing.

I bet a dollar we're in another dark ages within 100 years, not because of an asteroid or peak oil or global warming, but because the crazy people will hit critical mass.

On a side note:
Information pertaining to a student's withdrawal from the university is maintained as part of the student's confidential educational record

This is federal law. In all these cases where the school refuses to disclose any information about how a student is disciplined or not that's because under the FERPA act they are not allowed to do so. Eventually a reporter somewhere will stumble across this fact and stop acting like the schools are always hiding something when they refuse to reveal information like that.

I don't think the schools are hiding anything, I don't understand how the schools can have jurisdiction over criminal matters like rape. If this girl thinks she was raped, why didn't she go to the real police? Why did she, essentially, tell on him to her teacher?

It makes sense for the schools to just throw out every male accused of rape. They just want the tuition money from the student and the government on behalf of the student, they don't actually care if he gets an education. They can throw out 100 men a year on spurious sex crimes charges and still reject another excess 1000 for admission the next year. It literally makes no sense for them to actually investigate and get a "they blame the poor woman victims" reputation. Kick the man out, the government says they don't have to release any information as to why, case closed, fuck you.

Follow-up

According to Stern, Montague and a female student developed a relationship that led to their sleeping together in Montague's room four times in the fall of 2014.

What is in dispute is the fourth occasion. According to the statement from Montague's attorney, Montague and the woman had consensual sex and then went separate ways. The statement said that later that night, she reached out to him to meet up, returned to his room voluntarily and spent the night in his bed with him. However, the woman stated she did not consent to sexual intercourse, while Montague said she did, the statement said.

"Only two persons could have known what happened on that fourth night," Stern said. "The panel chose to believe the woman, by a 'preponderance of the evidence.' We believe that it defies logic and common sense that a woman would seek to re-connect and get back into bed with a man who she says forced her to have unwanted sex just hours earlier. And yet the Dean accepted this conclusion and ordered Jack to be expelled. His decision was then upheld by the Provost.
...
According to Stern's statement, the woman reported the incident to a Title IX coordinator a year later; the coordinator filed a formal complaint with the University-Wide Committee.

That's some SERIOUS bullshit.
