It’s a shame because it’s got a lovely campus and is a good size for a SLAC. Admin needs to bring the school into a new era if they want to attract top students.

Agree 100%. I went to Bucknell in the early 90's on a full scholarship. They actively recruit from inner cities and minorities. I truly feel like they try to do the right thing, but the students are total jerks. Administration still needs the support of alum so they often are caught between a rock and hard place. It is TOTALLY unacceptable frat boy behavior which seems to never stop.

I know a woman who went there in their engineering department, which really focuses on attracting and supporting female engineers. She had a good experience there but I would guess stayed far away from the frat boy culture.

I’m an alum and wouldn’t want my daughter to go there. This is nothing new.

The university findings about the banned frat, Tau Kappa Epsilon:

Until two years ago, the Fran’s House building, also known as Tower House, was home to Bucknell’s chapter of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. The university banned the fraternity for hazing violations that included underage drinking, the use of dog shock collars on members, the throwing of darts at members and other activities “creating a reasonable likelihood of bodily injury.”

I'm sure these young men were just trying to have a nice conversation with the LGBTQ residents...

I just can't imagine the families that produce such humans. Who would PAY for this experience, and (as I sometimes see on this site), who would then defend their kid's actions (pay lawyers, sue the school, etc).

I almost feel like if the parents defend them, they kid likely had NO prayer to turn out any different.

You seem to be trying to pick a fight that is not there. The article suggests something in the headline and then doesn't really pursue it. It is an important question, particularly when each unsubstantiated allegation of bias undercuts the actual, important cases.

Not sure if this happened at Bucknell, but I went to Colgate and a while ago they required that the fraternities and sororities sell their houses to the university if they wanted to keep active status.

not all did through

Oh I know. A bunch of chapters sued and lost but I think DKE was the only one who absolutely refused. There’s an interfaith social house there now. 😃

Trespassing, vandalism, and attempted breaking & entering into a residence (a felony) are mostly peaceful?

Some of these families post on DCUM.

when white people do something, it's inherently peaceful.

As noted in the post you cited.

So very much on-brand for Bucknell.

So why is this an anti-LGBT act? Do we not think this group of frat boys would have “attacked” if the house had just been turned into a different fraternity? Is every crime a hate crime if its victim is LGBT?

The behavior of the students was horrible, but entitled and often homophobic behavior sadly happens on many campuses in particular that of expensive colleges. What vaults this into a problem unique to Bucknell is the campus security's abhorrent response.

You could read the article... (the university called their actions “horrific”)

NP. But what were their actions and why dont you want to talk about it?

Because listing what you could read in the article seems pointless. WH don’t you want to just read the article?

15-20 mean:
Screaming
Trying to break in
Pounding on the door
8+ climbed on the roof
Urinating on the porch
Trying to force open a window

The urinating on the building is particularly Klassy and the rest is Klansy

Fixed it for you.

You just lost all credibility.
