Welcome to the real world outside of academia.
Via The College Fix:
The University of North Dakota’s president has rejected calls for a “zero tolerance” policy on “offensive” speech by pointing out that his institution is a public entity, and as such is subject to the First Amendment.
The Washington Examiner reports that requests for speech restrictions surfaced after two racially offensive incidents: A trio of white students had locked a black student out of her room and captioned a photo “locked the black b—-h out;” the other featured four white females in blackface with the caption “Black lives matter.”
Although President Mark Kennedy said “It is abundantly clear that we have much work to do at the University of North Dakota in educating our students, and the entire university community on issues related to diversity, inclusion and respect for others,” he cautioned against demands for a “swift resolution” to the incidents, saying investigations would follow due process.
