| The feces-smeared swastika is surely another stinking great hoax. But who cares, unsubstantiated claims of 'racism' are enough to get a university president to resign and offer a craven apology to the Red Guards. |

And it continues, with blind subjectivity combined with the Thought Police (but, I did not actually find the specific report, or memorandum).

*University of Missouri Police Ask Students to Report ‘Hurtful Speech’
by Alex Griswold | 11:57 am, November 10th, 2015

CTYmkJyXAAEe7ddThe Missouri University Police Department (MUPD) sent an email to students Tuesday morning urging them to call them and report any hurtful speech they encounter on the campus.
In an email that was flagged by several Missouri-based journalists, the MUPD asked “individuals who witness incidents of hateful and/or hurtful speech or actions” to call the department’s general phone line “to continue to ensure that the University of Missouri campus remains safe.” They suggest that students provide a detailed description of the offender, their location or license plate number, and even to take a picture if possible.
In the email, MUPD readily admits that hurtful or hateful speech is not against the law. But, they write, “if the individuals identified are students, MU’s Office of Student Conduct can take disciplinary action.”
In a statement to Mediaite, the MUPD confirmed that the email was real. When asked about the potential First Amendment implications, a spokesman responded simply, “We are simply asking them to report what they feel is hurtful and/or hateful speech.”
He added that the police did not consider the hateful speech “a criminal matter.” However, “We also work for the University and uphold the Universities Rules and Regulations.”
The email comes one day after University President Tim Wolfe and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin resigned under pressure from students and faculty alike for what they considered a lackluster response to racial incidents. The same day, protesters and members of the media clashed, with protesters declaring a “no media safe space.”*
But wait, this one is interesting as well.

Mo. students, faculty shoved journalists away from tent city

A blockade of University of Missouri protesters — including a media professor who earlier had called for a national spotlight — shoved a pack of journalists away from a demonstration Monday afternoon, sparking debate over the right to access a school’s public space.
University of Missouri faculty and activists with Concerned Student 1950 were recorded surrounding journalists and blocking media coverage of demonstrations at the university’s Quad, where protesters have been living in a makeshift tent city since last week.
EDITORIAL: AGAINST HATE, FOR SPEECH
"Help me get this reporter out of here," bellowed Melissa Click, a Mass Communications assistant professor, after journalist Mark Schierbecker began recording demonstrators at the protest. Days earlier, Click had called for national exposure for the student movement on her Twitter page before making it private on Monday. “I need some muscle."

Click, who can be seen grabbing photographer Tim Tai in the video, boasts a PhD in Communication and has studied "popular culture texts and audiences, particularly texts and audiences disdained in mainstream culture," according to a bio online.
The heated confrontation recorded by Schierbecker also shows Janna Basler, the school's Greek Life assistant director, intentionally walking into a photographer identified as Tai while demanding he “back off.”

MANDATORY CREDITJUSTIN L. STEWART/AP
The rough confrontation between protesters and journalists happened hours after former University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe announced his resignation.
The activists initially demanded the resignation of former University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe in the wake of racially-charged encounters on campus. But demonstrators still want sweeping racial awareness programs and the hiring of more black faculty and staff members.
The Concerned Student 1950 group declined to speak with the Daily News on Monday and have not elaborated on their aggressive stance against the media.
It's unclear if Click was among the students chanting “Hey, ho, reporters have got to go.”

Tom Warhover, the executive editor of Columbia Missourian, a student newspaper, is "incensed" by what he saw on the video.
"I understand students who are protesting and want privacy," Warhover told the Times. "But they are not allowed to push and assault our photographers -- our student photographers."
Tai, who on Sunday evening staked out a Board of Curators meeting where former president Tim Wolfe was hammering out last-minute negotiations before his resignation on Monday, recalled his stint photographing violent demonstrations in Ferguson, Mo., after the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown.

"It was the police doing it then," Tai told the Los Angeles Times of harassment he faced.
“I don’t have any ill will toward the people in the video,” Tai said of demonstrators at the University of Missouri. “I think they had good intentions though I’m not sure why it resorted to shoving.”

Piece of String Creates Hate Crime Panic
When the black studies student saw a piece of string in a tree, she did what any self-respecting black studies student would do: shriek racism.
The string looked like rope. And rope means lynching. And that meant within a few minutes of this Tuesday night discovery on the campus of the University of Delaware, the entire university community from the acting president on down was in a full hate-crime panic.....
By the time the sun came up, media throughout the state was buzzing with speculation about the white racists harassing black students on campus.
The acting president called for a rally to condemn the atrocity.
Then students started to wake up. And many knew the rope was not a rope, but a string. And the noose was not a noose.
And the act was not a hate crime. Or even a fake hate crime.
It was just string that held up a paper lantern -- left over from an alumni party in June.
The president did not apologize for perpetrating the hate crime hoax. Instead, she threw the university police under the bus for not figuring it out, then condemned the hate crime which had not happened, if it had happened, which it had not.
And she looked forward to the day when there actually is a hate crime on campus so she can have something to do besides get hysterical over string crime fairy tales.
Interns in the racial grievance industry came forward to admit the despicable symbols were just pieces of string, but even so, they were not happy to be on a campus where they were relentless victims of relentless white racism, all the time, everywhere, and that explained everything.

The truth is irrelevant. 'Diversity' is a modern day religion and racism the new original sin. |

Feces Swastika, aside from being a great death metal band name (or would Swastika Feces be better?), is looking like a hoax.
Basic common sense dictates at least one student would have taken a picture and that the janitor who had to clean it up would have said something. In fact, there should have been a whole crime scene unit there with tape and cameras.
It still might turn out to be real, but I'm not holding my breath. |

Great triumph for student activism. We often say college age kids are tuned out, etc. but this shows that there is hope.
The students, specifically the football players believed enough in what they deemed as injustice to put themselves at risk.
Bravo. Even if its something I don't believe in, like the woman who wouldn't issue gay marriages. While I think her views are bigoted, she believed enough in what she thought was wrong to go to jail over it.
Gotta respect that. |

The topic is almost trivial, and the title is borderline offensive. People can claim that "'diversity' is a religion" all they want, but it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to show that one controversy at one university establishes the truth of that claim.

So, I'll comment on this. Kim Davis, the woman who refused to issue gay marriages, really won. She secured a private meeting with Pope Francis. Then Matt Bevin, the underdog candidate for Governor of Kentucky, won in an upset. He deliberately campaigned on social issues, quite contrary to his economic focus when he ran for primary for Mitch McConnell's Senate seat.
Activism on social issues works. |

| More leftist witch hunts, purges, and chimpouts based on lies, half-truths, and victim mentalities. Although the president did nothing wrong, I don’t feel sorry for him. Apologizing to these lunatics will only encourage more of this behavior. |

Do you remember when that muslim went on a shooting rampage on an army base, murdering his would-be comrades in arms? Fort Hood I think it was. One of the first reactions of the military top brass was that though it was a tragedy, it would be a 'greater tragedy' if the incident undermined the army's diversity, it's 'greatest strength.' That same statement is repeated by every government insitution, school, university, and large corporation like a religious mantra. It is believed as an article of faith and never submitted to any scrutiny.
And it's not just one university. These racial witch-hunts happen almost every other month. I look forward to more of them, the more hysterical the better. This is the inevitable result of decades of affirmative action, race hysteria, and critical theory indoctrination. And now it's cannibalizing liberal academia. |

I hope this insanity spreads nationwide.
Pressure Mounts on Ithaca College President to Step Down
Around a thousand miles northeast of the University of Missouri, where racial tensions and protests led to the resignation of the university president, students and faculty at Ithaca College have mounted a challenge to their own leader following protests over alleged incidents of racism at the small private college.
For months, the college of just 6,600 students nestled in the Finger Lakes has seen increased criticism of President Tom Rochon for what students and faculty believe is an inadequate response to a number of racist incidents occurring on campus. Wednesday afternoon, students are expected to hold a “walk-out” in further protest.
So, what do these 'racist' incidents consist of?
The first involved public safety officers who allegedly made “racially insensitive” and “aggressive” statements during training sessions with Ithaca College resident assistants, according to The Ithacan, Ithaca College’s student newspaper.
The second, Stewart said, centered on an off-campus party hosted by an unaffiliated fraternity last month. The party was themed “Preps and Crooks,” and students and alumni viewed the theme, described in a Facebook post, as “racially charged” and a “microaggression,” according to The Ithacan.
The last incident occurred during a university-sponsored event called “Blue Sky Reimagining” last month, where an African-American alumna of Ithaca College said she had a “savage hunger” to succeed in her professional career. A Caucasian Ithaca College alumnus speaking alongside the woman repeated her description, calling the alumna a “savage” multiple times, Stewart said.

Exactly what risk were they running? Exactly none, zilch, zero, nada
On the other hand the school WAS facing risk
| Quote: |
| The Tigers' next game is Saturday against BYU at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs. Canceling the game could have cost the school more than $1 million. |
And that's just one game.
To say nothing of the smeared reputation (either fairly or unfairly) they could have earned by standing firm on the issue. In the US many college teams have a lot of clout and it's a pretty fair bet that the Tigers were all but assured of success.
In many US universities and colleges, athletes have an influence all out of proportion to their numbers. And when we start talking about special/preferential treatment a simple Google search throws up dozens of links. Here's one example.
http://study.com/articles/Do_Student_Athletes_Deserve_Special_Treatment.html
| Quote: |
From the very beginning of the college application process, allowances are offered to prospective students who demonstrate athletic potential. These individuals may be subject to lower admissions standards than non-competing peers and many, of course, receive scholarships. These financial rewards often don't factor in academic promise, only the skills students bring to the field or court.
And privileges don't end there. Many schools offer special tutoring for athletes to help them earn grades that ensure eligibility for competition. These individuals also routinely have access to early registration so they can choose classes that won't conflict with athletics. In addition, professors are often expected to make accommodations for students missing class and exams because of competitions. Student athletes may even get free books and enhanced food programs. They can also benefit from university officials looking the other way or instituting only mild punishments when it comes to inappropriate or criminal behavior on campus. |
Of course the athletes deny that they get special privileges or preferential treatment...much like the profs mentioned below deny their courses are "easy"
| Quote: |
But that's exactly what the school faced in 2011 with the widespread publicizing of a list of reportedly 'easy' classes circulated among Stanford's student athletes. The list, one student remarked to The San Francisco Chronicle, included classes that were 'always chock-full of athletes and very easy A's.'
Stanford officials contend that academic advisers compiled the 'Courses of Interest' list to help student athletes identify classes that accommodate busy practice and competition schedules. And while the accusation is that the listed classes aren't as challenging as other offerings from the university, instructors with courses on the list have come forward to affirm that their classes are academically rigorous. |
Then again both athletes and professors on the list have vested interests in denying the charges above so...

Lest you should think that's just one school...here you go.

An Associated Press review of admissions data submitted to the NCAA by most of the 120 schools in college football's top tier shows that athletes enjoy strikingly better odds of having admission requirements bent on their behalf.
The notion that college athletes' talents give them a leg up in the admissions game isn't a surprise. But in what NCAA officials called the most extensive review to date, the AP found the practice is widespread and can be found in every major conference. |
