Attorney says college report clears students of using racist, homophobic slurs Two Babson College students accused of racist, homophobic slurs while celebrating Donald Trump’s victory at Wellesley College were cleared of the most grievous allegations against them in a campus police probe that Babson refuses to release, school officials told the lawyer representing one student.
In the letter obtained by the Herald, attorney Jeffrey Robbins — who represents accused Babson student Parker Rand-Ricciardi — tells Babson lawyers he is “gravely concerned” about the way the college has handled its disciplinary probe into the incident, which set off a social media firestorm. The pair were accused of everything from spitting at Wellesley students to hurling racial epithets in front of a building where black students had gathered on Nov. 9, the day after Trump defeated Wellesley alumna Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. Edward Tomasso, the other accused student, later apologized on Facebook and asked people to stop sending him death threats. The two had not been charged with any crime.

Did they discover their parents were prominent dimwits?
“Colleen Ryan, is pursuing charges of disorderly conduct and harassment against Rand-Ricciardi despite public safety probes by Babson and Wellesley not corroborating key allegations against him.”
Typical leftardism.
You pay to go to this college, this bastion of feminism?
So they’re accusing these students of unacceptable behavior after Trump’s win resulting in expulsion, but they are unwilling to discuss specifics of the behavior? Do I have that right?
Wow.
Wellesley College is setting itself up for a lawsuit.
The students’ lawyers need to dig up dirt on Colleen Ryan. Bet she’s done her share of protesting and yelling at buildings.
She probably screams and rants at invisible elves.
A “prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and occasional Herald columnist” defending the First Amendment? Hey, buddy come on over to the side of Good! You don’t need to be over there with the evil people.
These guys get laid like you wouldn't believe.
This type of witch hunt has been going on for years. Its about time that some put their foot down and punished these false flag, cry bullies on campus.
The students’ lawyer says that Babson lawyers told him that the investigation showed that there was “a vast discrepancy” between what was reported in the media and what actually happened. In other words, fake news.
From this article, it appears that using a racial epithet is a “grievous allegation”, but making a death threat, not so much.
Just to be clear, I’m not in favor of racial slurs. I’m not in favor of kids calling each other “fatty” or “stupid” on the playground, either. I prefer polite and fact-based discussions. I’d just like a little perspective on the matter. Name-calling is hurtful, but not in the same league as making a death threat.
