UA student under investigation after using racial slurs on social media

If you felt that way why put it on video let alone social media. When you are with like minded people say what ever you want in private doesn't make it right but at least you won't drag down the Alabama with you. I will be glad when that word loses its bite.

Looks like they can boot her if this is determined to be detrimental to the university.

I need to look a bit more closely, but it’s a good bet what she said is going to be constitutionally protected.

UA may have a tough time with not so much booting her as the lawsuit to follow it (or more likely the settlement), but other students can easily make the choice to leave easy on her by freely not associating with her.

ETA: And I don't want her to get money for being a piece of garbage so I'd rather UA not boot her.

She’s made herself unemployable. First thing that will pop up on Google searches now. Punishment enough.

What a shame.

Thank goodness for social media.

Hopefully, she'll feel some remorse and slither back to Jersey voluntarily.

I'm sure she can hook up with Richard Spencer's organization.

I'd love to hear an attorney's opinion on this one. IIRC, each student signs the CofC when when they're accepted, so one has to wonder if there are exceptions to 1A for situations like this.

Don’t see any way around it. UA is a public university, an agent of the state, and therefore bound by the 1A. FIRE and organizations like it have litigated racism on campus many times. Any free speech exception would be a constitutional violation and it would have to be struck from the CofC. It is well settled law.

Would she sue? Maybe. She outed herself and is no longer protected by FERPA, so she has nothing to lose by doing so. Hopefully, she’ll simply withdraw and slink back home.

i think i saw where the sorority already booted her. in one of her videos she said that her sorority meant everything to her.

Well, maybe not everything...
Evidently she values her racial prejudice more than her sorority membership.

I would be extremely surprised if she consciously chose one over the other.

i think you may be assuming an ability to have two competing thoughts

The comments section after the article degraded quickly. Not surprising when talking about racism but sad how we cannot have a civil conversation.

I feel the only fight that will come in this is if the University of Alabama is retributive towards the sorority. There may be an amount of pressure from the AD to do something if this becomes a recruiting factor the the football staff. Landon Collins and Damien Harris have come out hard on the girl and the sorority for enabling this girl. Lets remember these girls are coached to not even smoke when a camera is around. She had a bunch of her sisters around her and nobody stopped her because they're either pretty much like her or weak-willed and underdeveloped spiritually to allow that to happen.

I get the feeling Alpha Phi's UA chapter is going to take some punishment for this event and they may fight a bit over it. I don't know what the block seating arrangement is these days but wouldn't surprise me if they lose whatever they've got for 2018.

this times 10 billion

It's a problem when you recruit heavily out of state. You end up with a bunch of kids who don't care about your state, your school, its reputation, its alumni or traditions and are only there to party.

You don’t have to care about a school’s traditions. Just don’t be a racist jerk.

An al.com comments section not degrading quickly would be a first.
