I guess it is against the law to hurt anyone's feelings on college campuses, except Republicans I guess because we don't have feelings.

Memo to self: Print this out and cross UNH off of HS kid's college app list.

If I were in college today, i'd have been crucified, dead, buried, dug up and crucified again for the way I acted there 25 years ago.
PC Nazis to the Nth degree.

LOL.....I laughed for 5 minutes after reading this. The kid shouldn't have been evicted, good Lord! Have we become so insane about "PC" in this country that a JOKE is now actionable?

Housing is where the little tinhorn dictators of the world flourish. Anyone who has lived in a NYC coop knows or should know that.
I know a lot of freshmen who would have loved the right to live off-campus, btw, which is kind of beside the point, but true nonetheless.

Watch. Next semester, the university will spend $100,000 to come up with a way to encourage students to exercise more.

This is what happens when RATs take over. If Kerry wins, we can expect this silencing and punishment of free speech to expand all over the place, and worse. Hill will get us and take away everything we hold dear.

Besides, I've seen some of the freshmen these days. It's more like the Freshman 150 for some of them!

My youngest (9th grade) said the pity about all of this PC stuff was "that everyone was so uptight, and no one can take a joke." He gets it.
Doesn't compassion for the homeless trump compassion for the potentially chubby in the brave new PC world?

Why didn't they go get some quotes for this article from the fat-assed freshwomen?

Some of us who were college kids just a short time ago "crucified, dead, buried, dug up and crucified again for the way" we acted for doing nothing more than pulling jokes.
A friend of mine got a $10K plus settlement out of CMU for it.

I think he should be buried up to his neck and stoned.
How dare he be insensitive to women.

But on Oct. 8, the Judicial Affairs Office at the university found Garneau guilty of all charges, sentenced him to immediate expulsion from student housing and put him on probation through May 30, 2006. Anyone care to guess the average weight of those running the Judicial Affairs Office?

Have we become so insane about "PC" in this country that a JOKE is now actionable? Not to mention that this is a student (customer) paying for his education-- not an employee getting paid to comply with stupid rules.
If WalMart treated its customers like the government schools treat their students, it would soon fold: ATTENTION SECURITY! A CHILD DROPPED A GUM WRAPPER IN AISLE 13! PLEASE ESCORT HIM TO THE DOOR AND BE SURE TO TAKE HIS MONEY FIRST!

New Hampshire's motto... "Live Free Or Die" .. doesn't apply to their University system, I see.

"I guess it is against the law to hurt anyone's feelings on college campuses, except Republicans I guess because we don't have feelings."
Another gross exercise of raw power by a progressive wolf pack against an isolated lamb. This stuff gives us a window into what life would (will, after Tuesday?) be like under progressive government.

Garneau posted the fliers shortly after school started on Sept. 3. The fliers include a picture of a women in workout gear with the following message: "9 out of 10 freshman girls gain 10 - 15 pounds. But there is something you can do about it. If u live below the 6th floor takes the stairs. Not only will u feel better about yourself but you will also be saving us time and wont be sore on the eyes."Oh, Freshman 15 means "dorm-butt," aka "OBD" (Oregon butt disease).
