Casteen has to respond in some way given the University's problems with racism the past few semesters. With that said, it seems that the employee who used the N-word didn't mean it in an offensive way. Also, I haven't seen any articles in the Cav Daily that actually gives the race of that employee, which makes you wonder...

Someone uses the n-word as an example of an objectionable term, and UVA goes nuts? Crazy.

"It doesn't really matter in what context this word was used," Staff Union President Jan Cornell said in a statement, adding that employees have reported other similar incidents.

So if someone asks Miz Cornell "What was the offensive word?" and she answers...should she be fired?

I am honestly beginning to believe that one must be educated to be that stupid.
