I think maybe he meant what the students could get back if they sued the school/state?E.H. Ruddock wrote:What would they be sued for? They weren't directing it at any one person.simple schoolboy wrote:Any figure on the damages (if any) these students can expect?
My initial reaction was, "Even if they could sue...why would they?" It'd be like character-suicide to say, "I have every right to be racist!" (even though, obviously, they do) But based on that one kid's apology, it looks like they're suiting up for suing and will lead with: "Did you read my statement? I was willing to turn my life around and learn from this but then the school kicked me out..."

Re: OU racist frat video
If they did sue, I think they would be encouraged by a third party to do so. The ACLU was my first thought, but they seem to be tiptoeing around this very carefully right now. Plus, the relief wouldn't likely be so much monetary as it would be to get readmittance to OUSimple Torture wrote:I think maybe he meant what the students could get back if they sued the school/state?E.H.

Re: OU racist frat video
Can these students claim that their first amendment rights were violated? Isn't OU a private university?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Most "University of [Insert State Here]" schools are public. The only one that comes to mind that isn't is Penn.

Those darned land grant universities are public and yet don't follow this convention universally. I eagerly anticipate their appology.Simple Torture wrote:Most "University of [Insert State Here]" schools are public. The only one that comes to mind that isn't is Penn.

Their website says, " Attracting top students from across the nation and more than 100 countries around the world, OU provides a major university experience in a private college atmosphere."cutuphalfdead wrote:wikipedia says it's public
I checked before I made that post, but apparently they don't want people to know they're public.
.... just racist.
