OU racist frat video

[Alex]

Any figure on the damages (if any) these students can expect?

What would they be sued for? They weren't directing it at any one person.

i think he was referring to the damages they could expect from the university, aka aggrieved white guy justice

I think maybe he meant what the students could get back if they sued the school/state?

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..."

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 OU

Can these students claim that their first amendment rights were violated? Isn't OU a private university?

wikipedia says it's public

[Simple Torture]

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

I like to think of myself as the obscure Twitter celeb of RM (with slightly upwards of 0 followers). If you cant follow along then you don't deserve to understand.

And no, this approach is not conducive to normal commmunication.

Those darned land grant universities are public and yet don't follow this convention universally. I eagerly anticipate their appology.

Then there's Rutgers... they seem to be trying to hide.

I'll be pedantic and state that the full name is "Rutgers, The State University Of New Jersey".

wikipedia says it's public

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."

I checked before I made that post, but apparently they don't want people to know they're public.


.... just racist.

It's worth noting, no school had more players than Rutgers in the last Super Bowl.
