Large universities shouldn’t punish students who plagiarize and cheat, or students who can’t pay their tuition. These values are fun for everyone.
Why then not take things from universities? They have even more money.
My wife works for a large “home improvement” store chain, and confronting a shoplifter is grounds for termination of employment!
Apparently, the corporate lawyers have decided that losses due to theft are less than getting sued by detained shoplifter, or an employee who is injured or killed trying to stop them.
But then again, my wife works in a store where less than a third of the customers speak English, making the clientele a protected class, and they know it.
This guy is an administrator in a college? If this is typical of college employees, we are so screwed as a nation. But then look at President Obama, supposedly a brilliant constitutional law professor, who barely knows the constitution other than as an instrument to be circumvented.
I guess the next step after this would be to make burglary legal too.
“.....or all them (sic) other places” ?????
Wouldn’t you expect a “Director of COmmunity Relations” would utilize better grammar, or at least have someone proofread his public statements, and not say anything spontaneously for the cameras or microphones?
I’m sure using this guys logic he is a big supporter of illegal immigration, also we should follow his logic and stop making payments to the IRS.

The Director of Community Relations at a major university likely makes a very good salary. Compared to most of the world, he is one of the big, powerful, rich folks. Therefore, those who have less should feel free to steal from him, and he cannot call the police to enforce the laws. It's for "fairness" and "social justice", after all.
What the moron fails to realize is that every penny lost by the big evil box stores will simply be passed on as losses to customers (which is basically all of us), as well as lower return and dividends to investors (around 20-30 percent of all Americans own at least some stock in one of the big box stores, thanks to 401k's, etc). He is basically just encouraging another system of welfare, but this time without rules or qualifications. The worst and most evil takers get to take the most, instead of the most needy.
Owner: Wow, we sold out!
Clerk: Ummm...not exactly.
And who do you think ends up paying for that insurance your moron? It ain't the people stealing. It's the poor honest slobs who pay for what they purchase.
O’Boy I will get myself a shopping cart and head for Wal-mart and load it up could use new TV, Fancy phone, Nice camera, choice meats and head out the door. If I get caught claim I am senior citizen I thought I paid, you mean I didn’t oops sorry will be back with money.
Holy crap! If the people who live in these bad areas fall for this sort of thinking they will end up living in Mad Max-like wastelands where there is not a business to be found. And yes, big box stores do have insurance but they can’t afford the premiums because they try to keep theft and damage claims to minimum. If any business makes too many claims The insurance rates will rise until they won’t be able to afford their insurance and then where did the freebies come from?
If you are a lefty troll please listen carefully. If businesses cannot make a profit because they are being robbed every 5 seconds and/or being burned to the ground by BLM thugs, they will close up. People in these neighborhoods will have to walk, bike, take a bus, or drive a stolen car to go shopping elsewhere where their antics will not be look kindly upon. They might not get shot in their own neighborhoods but they’ll get shot in everybody else’s.
If you’re black person reading this please understand this is meant kindly. If this becomes the norm in your neighborhoods then all of you will be eating nothing but government cheese.
That policy announced would immediately creat long lines of “shoppers” who simply take stuff and leave.
Gee, Mr. Mitchell, just how long do you suppose those stores will stay in business if we all just walk in and help ourselves to whatever we want?
I wonder if he considers it legal to steal his possessions from his house? (rhetorical, we can guess the answer is “No”)
The administrator should be put in charge of security at the local Walmart, and have to pay for any stolen item. This is the thinking you get from people in academia.
Redesignate the administrator’s home, and the college’s bookstore, cafeteria and gift shop as large stores, and let the games begin.
