I see this kind of talk all the time and wonder why so many people think every college fraternity member falls into this category? These kids obviously are idiots and this behavior isn't excusable in the least, but I have seen so many people assume "daddy will set them up" no matter what happens to them.



Yeah. Bunch of morons stereotyping fraternity kids as all rich kids who get set up with jobs out of school. That's like 5-10% of the kids in fraternities.

It must be the abusive conduct clause, at least that's the only prohibited action that makes any sense to me, but that's a hell of a slope to slip on.... How many OU students would be disciplined if they took the same stance towards twitter?


This is exactly what I'm talking about. Slippery slope is slippery, and past practice could prove tricky for the U of O in the future.

Nope. You'd be all over it. And then you would want stiffer penalties.

But, show me the video of the black OU students who did that and were not expelled. I'm waiting....

i wouldn't want to be the lawyer making that argument, but it has merit. john adams defended worse offenders and he's an icon


And it seems like they have a damn good case. If my free subscription hadn't already run out for the month, I'd post the litany of authority cited by Volokh on the issue.

The university is a public entity (the government), and they can't do what they just did if it was based on the speech.

Not that it means anything, but I can vouch for this.

Look, OK SAE alumni, fathers or not, will most likely make sure these guys don't suffer very much for very long. Entrance to some other institution plus jobs will be waiting in exchange for a commitment not to be such a dumbs again or at least not get caught on video doing it.

No shite. Blacks killing blacks might get a mention in the paper... white kids sing a song about lynching and it's national headlines.

Unfortunately so, sir.

However, what is also disturbing is the fact of the media sensationalizing this (or anything against certain peoples). Its almost as if there is some agenda...

They were expelled for saying something off campus...how does that work again?


But can't you make the argument that since they were off-campus, but at a formal campus organization event, that they are an extension/representation of campus wherever they are?

well if OU won that argument, then i would shudder to imagine life on OU's campus

if you imagine all of the theoretical trigger words that are out there, then you have to accept the fact that if any student utters any one of these trigger words, then they face immediate expulsion

hen change the "honky or cracker" argument to any angry or threatening language uttered by a student (regardless of race)

these rules have to apply to everyone, or else you have no rules. it sucks b/c what they said was so shitty, but you have to have an entire system of behavioral regulation, which includes adequate due process for those accused. the rules have to be clear to everyone, or else it is impossible to know if you are breaking a rule



I have no problem with that and I'm sure some level of double standard exists but don't be intellectually dishonest and suggest that white kids chanting about lynching n*****s doesn't top the scale of "crude and deplorable shite" you can say these days.

Being disciplined is one thing this is pretty much ruining their lives for something stupid that they did while being drunk. In case some of y'all don't know if you are expelled from school it's on a permanent record and is damn near impossible to get into any other college. Not only that, anytime you do a Google search there names will come up for this so chances of them getting a job are slim to say the least. Over the top for some drunken stupidity that didn't cause harm to anyone.
