No one loves the right to protest more than I do. Free speech in this country is our greatest strength.

 

However, I am a bit in comfortable with this resignation.

 

Why not stay and work towards harmony and clearing your name? He must have been really stressed.

So, if the standard set now is having to step down or being fired because someone doesn't like the fashion is which you responded or didn't respond to a blog, then we are in a whole lot of trouble.

 

Nah, he's just a wuss. His only response was to resign. Wuss.

That's very very possible, but we also don't know what kind of pressure he may have been getting from the board of regents to resign either. That's also a distinct possibility.

 

But lets not forget, this whole thing was started by a guy who was mad that he didn't get the response he wanted from the president on his blog. If that never happened, this whole situation never turns out like this. I just think that sets a bad precedent.

The whole thing started because of racist actions by people. The blog never happens had those incidents never occurred.

Or if the president had simply said what I said in post #67 and this may not have happened. He chose to say nothing and now he is choosing to say nothing again. To the untrained eye he looks like a supporter of racism now.

So true. It's amazing that in 2015 folks still try to bury their heads in the sand and expect it to work when it comes to racism.

I suspect you're right. My best guess is the board of curators last night told Wolfe "resign or get fired."

While technically true, this action was set in place by a blogger who didn't like getting a non-response to an incident the university president had no part in what so ever. And then, the somewhat "scary" (to me) support he got.

 

Of course I don't agree with the transgressors with their racial slurs and think they are bums, but my gosh I still say this has been blown WAY out of proportion and I don't see anything here to sway me otherwise.

So you don't think it's an issue that people were racially discriminated against or harassed on campus, and when it was brought to the university's attention, they responded with silence?

Do I think what happened was national news and should lead to a university president stepping down/firing? Absolutely not.

Would love to hear how you would solve the crimes committed.

They weren't asking them to solve anything. They were simply asking for the incidents to be acknowledged.
