    Sure he resigned, but has he admitted his white privilege?



    I'm assuming the hunger and football strikes are still on until all demands are met.

    Benjamin Hochman is covering this on Twitter. Students are forming a human shield to keep reporters away from interviewing protesters. Also has video of a confrontation between a reporter and students blocking access.

    Make yourself look good, Mizzou!

    Dividing the races, classes, etc. Proven way to bolster support while avoiding the issue.

    Let's hope the protesters get their records sealed as to avoid any unfortunate questions later in life.

    He acknowledged it by being able to afford to resign.

    So you're saying the next president should be black because he'd never have to resign?

    In another time, and another context, a university faculty member wrote smugly about chickens coming home to roost. Now it seems that other chickens are coming to other homes ... and the "tolerance and diversity" crowd's getting a dose of its own medicine.

    The tl;dr version: A Yale "dorm mom" wrote in an email re: Halloween that maybe students should work out any costume kerfuffles among themselves:

    In response, Yale students have really stepped up:

    Maybe they'll go find a young president from a MAC school who had a good eight days in March and give him the keys to the big chair.

    That's sexist. And bull shit. SHAME!!! Why do you presume the next President would be a male?
    This is the problem. To have male privilege and refuse to acknowledge it. Resign from SJ.com. #nomorepenisprivilege

    Yes, but if you are a college president, you should be aware that your campus is filled quite a few insufferable turds and proceed accordingly.
