[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it was a bad decision to have her speak.  She isn't respected, nor is she a scholar in the field.

However, the students were very rude, too.  I don't know much about this college to be honest - how active the student body is with regard to protest.  But students should have held it together on that day.  They may have made waves, but waves break at the shore and are soon forgotten. [/quote]

So you say but scholars disagree with your sentiments.

I agree with pp.  Simply because the faculty at this institution support the students in their rude protest, doesn’t make their actions appropriate.  Perhaps it was the faculty there that encouraged the students to do this to begin with.  That does not make it right.  [/quote]

If you'd bothered to read the Open Letter you'd see that the faculty who penned it expressing their admiration and support were NOT from Bethune-Cookman University.  The faculty consisted of 200+ scholars from numerous academic institutions including Loyola University, Ohio State University, Princeton University, Rutgers University, Auburn University, North Carolina State University, Temple University,[b] Spelman College[/b], Johns Hopkins University, Syracuse University, the University of Connecticut, and many other schools.

We get it.  A HBCU isn't worthy.  What TTT state school did you attend?  [/quote]
