For frick's sake, this is why I would never make it in the PC university world. Guy deserves a pat on the back for getting out there with the students, not condemnation.

quote:

A college president has apologized for drinking from a beer bong while tailgating before last Saturday’s football game, promising that it “will not happen again.”

Dr. Carlos Vargas, Southeast Missouri State University President, said in a statement to colleagues and students that his actions projected an image “I am not proud of, is not flattering, and certainly not expected from the president of Southeast Missouri State University.” “During my attendance at a tailgate party prior to the Southeast football game on Sept. 15, I was observed being offered and accepting to drink beer from a beer bong, a device normally associated with excessive or binge drinking, which is conduct I do not condone,” his statement read.

More than enough to qualify as sweeping "outrage" on social media

shite in grad school at A&M in 2005 I had a prof that would tell us he’d be at the Chicken at 5 and to come join him for a drink and chat about life. He would routinely pick up that tab for the 5 or so of us that would join him.

Given the current world in academia I see why he did it.

That doesnt mean he should.

If I was ever going to apply for a public job, I'd state up front that I would not engage in social media. If that's a requirement, I'm not your man.

Hell, in 2006ish I played flip cup on the third floor of the design building against the dean of the A&D school. He even filled the cups from he keg for us. He told us to work hard and play hard.
