“2 of the police officers charged with aiding and abetting the murder of George Floyd were previously students in the Sociology dept. at the University of Minnesota.”
I don’t usually talk to graduates of the University of Minnesota Sociology Department, but when I do I say, “I’ll take fries with that.”
A Sociology Department is a shame - to any university that has a Sociology Department.
Well, this is fun. Part of the reason that the grad students were warned is because there is a law called the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). If a student has invoked FERPA, the school is not allowed to acknowledge that the student is enrolled.
The University can be sued and fined. The reminder was CYA. If the Ph.D. students are personally mentioned in a law suit, the university doesn’t have to cover their attorneys.
Considering that one of the ph,d. Students was dumb enough to voluntarily talk, the school did something right.
It's obvious from this email, that "The U" is teaching its students to be nothing but obedient minions to authority.
It's equally obvious that the department has been highly successful at it. The two rookie cops (who were also U of M Sociology students) simply stood idly by while their leader, Officer Chauvin, told them to shut up and be quiet. As expected and taught, they duly obeyed.
