Expelled for impersonating campus administration and putting out false statements.
Really? Somebody better lock up Diamond Joe Biden's publicist as well in that case.
I did specify expelled, not arrested. I'm not sure whether criminal charges would be merited, but I wouldn't rule it out either. But schools are allowed to police their students beyond simple law. Any reasonable school should consider impersonation of an administration official and releasing statements on their behalf as punishment worthy... I would consider it expulsion worthy, but I would accept a lesser punishment. Any punishment to express how this is "not ok".
Imagine if you were working at a company and you decided to make a "satire" account for your CEO or company owner. I would fully expect you to be fired on the spot once that became public.
Okay, regardless of my feelings on the rest of this, I want to sit down with a moment and make one point.
Not everything should be managed like a company.
Universities are not companies. Governments are not companies. Churches are not companies. Orgies are not companies. Do not try and run one like any other. I
hate what this has done to so many systems. It's like becoming a company is the holy grail of every endeavor in the U.S, as though company behavior suddenly became the definition civilized behavior.
Again, this comment is without regard to the validity of the protesting done, and without concern for the punishment or lack there of for the students involved. I just feel the need to grab people by the shoulders and shake them vigorously every time they make an analogy with an 'in a company...' premise.

You can sit down at a computer, impersonate a man trying to do his job, push exaggerated tinder into a mess of sparks, fan the flames as best you can, but then you can't actually go out and stand by the very people you incited to action-- because you're worried that your white-privilege and non-appropriate life experience will influence the situation
that you created?
Hell, that beats out bone spurs for best made-up reasons not to serve. Can you not see the massive irony here?
People. Are. Not. Different. You're all flesh-tubes and meat-wires strung together. You don't need to have to be black to support black rights, you didn't need to be japanese to oppose the internment, you don't need to be any flavor of LGBTQ to support their right to be who their brain tells them they are. I've never understood people who can look at a problem and say "Wow, yeah, that's terrible and should stop, but I don't feel like I should get involved because I am/am not X".
