  1. You hadn't heard of this before? This has been going on for a while and there have been a few emails sent to the student body. I can share them here for anyone that is interested in reading them.

     

    Personally, I think President Jones needs to resign. On Jan 30th, when he first commented on the issue, he was VERY QUICK to assume that the girls were indeed attacked and that they would 'hold the people who did it accountable'. He jumped to a conclusion before ANY police investigation (there were two police reports, he only read the one) was completed instead of saying, "please be patient and lets see what really happened". Then, like a week ago, after it was determined the girls lied, he was asked to apologize and sent another email saying he wasn't going to and basically 'tough luck'. I wrote him and his chief of staff an email basically saying that response was BS and he needs to man up and do better.

     

    Not to mention these lying bags of poo had a stage setup for them on the academic podium and like 200-300 people showed up to 'rally' and show support (for a bunch of liars). Why did the school think that was a good idea before an investigation was completed? I think the BLM movement was involved. The co-creator of BLM was asked to comment on the issue (when she was up here for something else) and she basically said it's white people's fault. Then there is the one kid who was trying to break up the fight or whatever it was and before the real truth/information was known had death threats against him and left the school.

     

    If anyone should be impartial in this situation, it's the President of the University. But, because he's also african american, he instantly sided with that side of the story. Messed up. He needs to go, or issue a MASSIVE apology. Like, full press conference and everything. That kid needs his tuition paid for, etc. Otherwise, if I was that kid, I'd file a suit so fast it'd make UA's head spin.

     

    No, I've been following the story but the fact that GMA picked up on it is pretty huge.

     

    I think Pres. Jones made a mistake by rushing to judgment too soon, but I really hope he doesn't resign. He's been an otherwise excellent leader for the school and we'd be worse off without him IMO.

    The fun part is how many people post messages from smart phones on the go and have auto-correct issues or just don't think when they type. Grammar Nazi's make me laugh. Makes me want to say "get a life!"

     

    If I was looking at the SBU message board and saw a typo or even an all out error from someone who wasn't edumacated well I wouldn't think twice. It's the internet, not a published article or book.

    This is a message board, grammer, spelling is serious business.

     

     

    This is a message board; grammar and spelling is serious business.

  3. Random question, but does anyone know if Peter Hooley was in the Atlanta area this past weekend? I swear I saw him, or his doppelganger, in a restaurant here yesterday. He was with a large party, and I didn't get a chance to see if it was really him (or check to see if that person an aussie accent...lol).
