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.
Sadly, I think this is a lot of the explanation.
Two things struck me (beside the immediate "I do not want this young woman at my alma mater").
First, she seems to believe that if you do the environmentally conscious thing (turning off a running tap), then racial slurs are okay, because, after all, you've done the environmentally conscious thing.
Second, she seems to be under the impression that because you are in the South, it is okay to use racial slurs. I would argue just the opposite. Southerns, white and black, have to interact with each other and learn how to make things work. I would bet New Jerseyans do not have to do that, unless they live in NY or Phillie metro.
I do not know where in Jersey this lovely young woman is, but I hope she enjoys her trip home and doesn't darken Alabama's door again.
