All OU did was take their property back in the form of the frat house.

All??? Oklahoma must have laws about the process to evict people from their residence, even on property they control. And wouldn't that involve due process?

There's white guilt okay. It's shown in those that overcompensate in their dealings with manufactured black rage.

The more I think of it, the more it stinks. The whole concept of what's "hate speech" and what's "free speech" should be revisited. We (still) have a constitutional right to be tasteless and offensive, as long as it doesn't involve a direct threat. There's a reason for that. It's the only way there can be a free exchange of ideas.

I’m guessing due process for the university in dealing with students doesn’t necessarily involve the court system and lawyers. I’m guessing due process for the university is about 10 phone calls between the president and various regents and then the action is taken.

This wasn’t “white guilt” by Boren. It was simple expediency. Had he not done what he did, there’d be major unrest on campus right now.

So it was the smart thing for him to do to keep the campus calm. But it was definitely not the right thing to do in ensuring the Constitutional protections if the little racist punks. And it’s going to cost OU a lot of $$$ down the road if the punks decide to sue. But to Boren, having to pay out millions a few years down the road because he violated Constitutional rights is a good tradeoff for keeping the campus under control now.
