I have a little inside baseball on this. The guy became a student after the controversy. Though the way he did so is rather interesting.
Sabato's PoliSci classes are so in demand that prospective students have to write an entrance essay in order to be considered for the class. While other students slaved away at their keyboards, the student in question did a little less work. He simply turned in an "essay" composed entirely of this one sentence: "I am macaca."
He was accepted into the class...
WHOA! Thanks for the information.
