Yeah, but the university prez is obligated under PC procedures to leave no stone unturned. Sensitivity sessions will be scheduled, the Open Door policy will be trumpeted long and loud, and by the time it's all over, the prez will be on record as having addressed. the. outrage.  :whatever:

Or the Jewish professor at Claremont-McKenna who vandalized her own car with anti-Semetic slurs.  Or the faculty member who hung a noose outside his own door, etc., etc., etc.
