golly go guins dont you remember our presidents discussion with Billy Bush? It was taped. If it's an old white guy it's just locker room talk but if it's a minority, they cant ever be redeemed. He was a stupid , drunk 16 year old kid. Trump was a 50+ white millionaire a-hole and we totally exonerated him.
I was wondering when will the never-rump people going to charm in. You did not disappoint me.
Putting the emotion aside, let us look at the facts.
He is a current student at YSU. YSU has the policy for EEO and non-discrimination (see university policy below)
Youngstown State University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, disability, age, religion or veteran/military status in its programs or activities.
As a student, one can participate in university sponsored programs or events unless one violates the student code of conduct (covers both on and off campus).
To the best of my knowledge, university does not perform background check on students before allowing the students to participate in the activities and/or receiving university scholarships/financial aids. If there is one, please educate me. The participation of the activities (athletic programs, academic teams....) are based on his/her abilities/knowledge.
Having said that, therefore, on what ground should he prohibited to join the football program since he has not violated any student code of conduct at the university.
How could the university single him for punishment while others (students with past history of similar problems which we just did not know) could participate?
When faculty leads the academic team representing the university to participate in academic competitions , is he/she supposed to find out who had committed past crimes (asking this question is against the university policy!) before he/she can participate?
Would all of you who signed the petition are going to issue another petition to prohibit him to participate, for example, in the university's national mathematic competition team if he qualified?
The action has to be taken based on university rules and regulations rather than emotions. If he is kick off the football team for this, somebody will either issue another petition or file a law suit against the University for Race Discrimination because he (an African American) was singled out for exclusion. I would assume some of you people (who signed the original petition) would sign this one too.
Last time I checked, this country is still supposed to follow the law and order. In the case, it needs to be determined by the university based on their policy and not your emotions.
