We get it. America is uniquely monstrous , black people are victims, white people are oppressors, you are a hero, and if we will only become Progressive Sky Screamers and wear pussy hats and engage in 24/7 Racial Agitprop , everything will be better.

Her undergrad was in Computer Science. By her resume, she seems like an excellent lady.

The shitty thing is she might be getting grant money or a scholarship to pay for that worthless degree

Why hesitate? I would have given them the ID right away and made them feel like assholes.

My question is this. Was this a common area between two bedrooms in a dorm (Like where the kitchen and tv would be)

Scruffy does think it is a waste of money though. That’s just his opinion.
In regards to loans, Scruffy believes that the amount given to students should be affected by their projected future possible jobs, so that likely gives you insight into what Scruffy believes in regards to college degrees, funding, and scholarship.

Yeah, but you said scholarships. I don't see how in any world it could be described as "shitty" when a computer science grad earns a scholarship for a graduate degree in ANY field.

In what is becoming an all-too familiar episode, a black Yale University graduate student was interrogated by campus police officers early Tuesday after a white student found her sleeping in a common room of their dorm and called police.

You also can't walk around the building on this white lady's watch
quote:
The campus paper also sheds more light on an earlier incident when Braasch called campus police on the same classmate, Lolade Siyonbola, and another black grad student, Jean-Louis Reneson. In a complaint submitted to campus administrators in March by Reneson and Siyonbola, the students describe organizing a small group to meet in a Hall of Graduate Studies common room. According to the complaint, Reneson got lost in the HGS building and was physically blocked by Braasch from entering the common room after he asked her for directions. When Reneson told Braasch he was a Yale student trying to meet up with his group, she accused of him of being an intruder, telling him that he “didn’t belong [there]” and was making her “uncomfortable.” Braasch eventually left the area and Reneson met up with his group, only to have four campus police officers show up because someone had reported a “suspicious character” on their floor.

Seems at least even money it was a grad-school dorm, plenty of 30+ people in those. In any event, your statement is non-sensical. "by a womensdorm". What does that even mean? She fell asleep while studying in a common area of the dorm she lives in. Absolutely, her expectation should not be to be awakened by police.

You and I both know that this place is notoriously known for shitting with what the group believes is a "worthless degree". The OT nearly has someone go on a rant about it a day or whenever a "Should I go into ____ major?" thread pops up.

quote:Sure. I'm just pointing out that I have a hard time slagging on a STEM grad. She's clearly interested in black issues, so good on her for attending Yale for a grad degree. She is likely a better person than 90% of the assholes on here who just can't find it in themselves ever to say a kind word in the direction of a black female.

Not mentioned that this was a unisex dorm, either way, person sleeping was female and showed the cops her dorm room as part of the interview/ID validation process.
This is a result of people raising kids to be scared s**tless at every turn by helicopter parents, so they can't handle their own problems without getting the authorities involved.
There is no reason to be scared at Yale, of all places. Just wake the person up and ask if they live there. If "yes", just remind them they're not supposed to sleep in the common areas (if that's even a rule), if "no", tell them to leave.
It's also funny that it's May (end of the semester and end of the school year), and they didn't recognize each other living in the same dorm.
Cops did nothing wrong, once they were called they have to see it through.

So Braasch seems to enjoy going on power trips.

This female is getting a graduate degree in African Studies. She is lucky enough to have a scholarship, but ISO she is wasting both her time and her scholarship.
ETA: No, Scruffy isn’t saying this just because it is “African Studies”.
Not that Scruffy’s or anyone’s opinion matters. The only one that matters is this female’s.
This discussion is always enjoyable though.

African studies at Yale ?
Hmmmmm, now there's a good use of an elite education opportunity

I assumed they thought the sleeping lady was a homeless person 
Should have been only a 30 second inquiry from the police though.

Or you could frick off you sanctimonious prick. Take your holier than thou attitude and shove it up your arse.
...and that, boys and girls, is how to properly respond to a SJW.
