There are hundreds of thousands of people who would kill to attend any of the schools in the UC system. These spoiled children should have been given 10 min to vacate and when they failed to do so they should have been expelled. There are plenty of "customers" ready to take their place.

Sadly this is the reaction of the utterly spineless and/ or deluded college president ,
praising a " black power " chanting mob for their courage and passion !! . The college has also demanded that the campus police undergo sensitivity training .

Yeah I am glad you brought this up. I going ask you this. If the school would have done what you suggested how fast do you think the customers would have layered up and had this matter in front of the California Civil Court's?
Hey Dan Aykroyd once sang sang about a similar situation.

It's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep her)
See when you get to staring that judge in the face
You're gonna wanna cuss the whole human race
It's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep her)


Nowadays you don't turn a nickel and dime problem into a multi-million dollar one.

Let me get this stright; The campus leadership should capitulate out of fear of a frivolous lawsuit? The students were breaking the law and school rules/policies, if that is not lawful grounds to expel those students than wtf is?
I will give you that they might try to sue, and they could well wind up in front of a liberal activist SJW judge that might let the case go forward but it would take a entire jury of SJWs to ignore the law for them to prevail and even then they would lose on appeal. The school would have the law on their side, any lawsuit would be without merit.

You refer to these students as customers, but that is only true in a very broad sense of the word. Where in the real world would a business that had 17335 (UCSC enrollment) customers, who were doing an equal amount of business, allow a few dozen "customers" to dictate policy? To add to that there are plenty of customer/students that would love to take their place. Allowing them to get away with this crap is a disservice to the students that are getting away with it. Try this shit in the real world and you will get arrested.

From your post I am not sure whether you support the faculty, the protesters or both but what ever the case here is something to think about. What do you think MLK would say about it? It is 2017 and a group of African American students are protesting in favor of and demanding segregated housing. Dr. King must be spinning in his grave.

Your Cheaper to Keep Her analogy is way, way off base. Cheaper puts forward the idea that it is cheaper to stay married than getting divorced. In the case of divorce the wife has a legal claim to her fair share of family assets. In the UCSC case had admin chose to do the right thing the only recourse would be a frivolous lawsuit. You seem to be arguing financial expediency over doing the right thing.

I also believe your wrong about costs. Allowing the sniveling wet behind the ears SJWs to dictate policy will cost far more than any law suit.

BTW Cheaper to Keep Her was originally recorded by Johnie Taylor. Ackroyd's version was part of The Blues Brothers 2000 movie. I love that soundtrack, every song was great. It was too bad they couldn't come up with a more original story instead relying on copying several scenes from the first movie.

Who said anything about frivolous? Do either of us really know all what transpired, or are we just going off what is Reported?

Sometimes disobedience is used to illuminate injustices done by the other party. If can show that your disobedience was done in protest of the injustice, then the protest maybe forgiven. Sort of like a tenant who withholds rent because the landlord does not do necessary maintenance according to the lease agreement.

Sometimes it is not about whether you win or lose but what could come out that you may want to avoid. I will point you to the current DNC lawsuit for an example of this.

Depends on who these students are. Are these just average in state 31grand per year student or the out of state students @ 57grand per year that breakdown may factor into the decision.

Why do you assume the students did not have a case? They had something. One iof the demand the students had for a couple of decades. Maybe there were incidents. I know that protests like that are done to draw attention. What could the school be hiding?

Being that he has not been alive in almost 50 years I do not know what he would have said or think. These kids depending on who they are and where they are from may not view King in the same way past generations did. Sort of like the younger generations of Cuban Americans don't view Cuba the same way as the older ones do.

I would love to know what the school's legal counsel on this. What we are seeing in news reports and they seen in the documents they have is probably worlds apart. The whole point about the song is "sometimes status-quo is not perfect, but it is better than the alternative" and that applies to more than just marriages, but professional relationships as well.

I also believe your wrong about costs. Allowing the sniveling wet behind the ears SJWs to dictate policy will cost far more than any law suit.

As I said before legal counsel knows better than the both of us, plus you never know what you can expose yourself to going to court.

Yes I knew this. I still remember when Johnie passed in 99'. I used Dan's cover for the comedic value I made reference to this song in an earlier post in this thread, don't remember if I credited Johnie with the song then.

protesters may have maintained their GPAS and may have been assisted by the professors during the whole ordeal. These protesters also a lot of the time fight for the labor rights of school employees, support staff and professors. Nowadays schools are staffing with more adjuncts and fewer tenured professors to cut costs and making a living as an adjunct professor is an increasingly difficult endeavor. So it would not surprise me if some of these professors made provisions for the protesters. Also remember that with today's technology work can be done just about anywhere and at anytime. Everything from research to typing a paper can just about be done from your tablet or smartphone. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "phoning it in"

Will be interesting how the Bill Maher racial slur situation will play itself out. Kinda funny he was joking about Kathy Griffin only to have him do this

We've got this stupid ad on TV right now that just reeks of PC.

The ad is about Aboriginal Reconciliation, correcting white mans wrongs and blah blah blah

I can't believe this is still an issue, white man created a lot of hurt and did damage to this lands original citizens and culture.

Wrongs have been corrected, but getting back to this TV ad, it was more about getting people, white people to get involved in the reconciliation process and at the end it states that ""you did your part"

The ad was designed to make you feel good about yourself that you did something, That's not what it's about as far as I'm concerned, nope to me it was to chalk one up for the PC brigade.

If anyone out there knows of it, Cincinnati is a city where there used to be race riots as recently as 2001. Someone once said that "it's not the city that's racist, it's everything else around it." I personally have witnessed white people saying racist words, but I think the shit is the same on both sides of the fence.

I was in a doctor's office a while ago in the North College Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, and I was the only white person in a room of 6-8 African-Americans. All of a sudden, this older A-A guy starting repeating loudly: "All the brothers, down in Africa..." As if to annoy me, the only white person who cannot respond to the slogan. Luckily, I was called into my doctor's office at that point...
