His Uncle Jim is an idiot - Bob Dylan isn’t in Eminem’s class on his best day.

It’s about the same. But a DUI charge/conviction won’t have the same negative effects on someone’s life as a marijuana conviction will, in certain parts of the country.

The short-term rush they get from “fighting the powers that be” overwhelms the long-term consequences.

It’s a little disheartening that so many people want to apply moral questions to someone’s job.

It means she doesn’t have a great understanding what it means to post something in public.

I’m certain there’s no way this will blow up in the NCAA’s case and make them look terrible, just like the open-and-shut cases at Miami and Penn State.

I love hearing that! Wish more places were like that.

And as a manager, if you can’t justify to employee B why employee A is getting more money, then employee B deserves a raise.

They share blame, of course. But I blame the bureaucracy because the tools never should have existed for them to be able to attack her in this manner.

I think Ford Prefect has a prescient line about the power of zealots.

Situations like this are where you need to give people who won’t listen to reason a stark lesson in reality. When they get dropped from things that matter to them, they will change.

You just flashed me back to being a college freshman, thanks so much :)

Yup. Ham-fisted tools given to the oppressed often end up being used by oppressors.

Exactly. Although in practice there isn’t really much in the way of penalties, any more than there are stiff penalties for Cleary Act violations.

Certain ones are, of course. It’d be harsh to brand “all” of them. Plenty of smart, practical, reasonable college feminists out there. They’re just not the ones that generate headlines.

Per the article, the option to make a counter-claim was offered to her.

Read this earlier, and just, wow.

I mean, I was an idiot and a bad person in college too. But I never felt like I had the ability to try to ruin somebody’s life because... well, not because they didn’t agree with me, exactly, but because they agreed with me, but not on every exact thing.

Title IX is one of the greatest…
