I read your comment in John Oliver’s voice. Thank you.

Highly doubtful. I just hope anyone who needed real help didn’t hear a busy signal.

No. He’ll do this himself. Why? Becasue...

Agreed.

Yeah, sounds like social fraternities to me. I’m guessing the founders of these fraternities were smart enough (or admin dumb enough) to get the school to sanction their social fraternities by pretending to be professional fraternities.

She’s a professor, so I assume intelligent. Also, she’s not new to twitter so she should know how it works. I think she’s smart enough to know what was going to happen when she sent those tweets. It’s pure ignorance if she didn’t.

Does it matter that it’s not a social fraternity?

On one hand I respectfully disagree with what she said. On the other hand I equally think she had the right to say it. As far as being enlightened I guess I could go on a diet but I’ve really been trying to enbiggen myself lately.

Just saying, If she wasn’t backing down her twitter would still be public.
