Yes it is, and I still haven't heard back from the alumni association with a correction- this after receiving 2 or 3 hysterical, blubbery emails about "hate crime on campus."
I'm certain they are happy to leave the alumni across the US under the impression that this really happened.
I think all these college administrators have gone soft in the head. My alma mater -- a women's college -- actually allowed the student government to remove all female references from the student government constitution, out of deference to those students who don't feel as if they're really female...
As the president of an alumnae club, I recently got a desperate email from a student looking for alumnae support to overturn this nonsense.
