I vote with the mailman. This goes well beyond a “prank.”
I agree. It was beyond any reasonable definition of a prank.
On the other hand, he is getting paid by the hour.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
That frat is lucky this mailman didn’t decide to make their lives miserable. You’re walking a thin line to say anything racial these days, and had he chosen to press charges, he probably could have owned the place.
This kind of mindless nonsense is why I never joined a fraternity. IMO, a bunch of followers who do what they are told.
Reversing the names? How clever/s
Just make everyone of them walk that postal route with the mailman..one at at time. It isn’t a good neighborhood and they might learn something.
And the company was paying. So, I guess they were stealing by fraud.
The homophobic slur “teabagger” never made headlines when President Obama and that faggot Anderson Cooper used it to slur patriotic men, women, and children.
Given today’s climate the prank was an inappropriate bit of resistance.
The University of Chicago is a private institution, not a state university.
Higher education from the enlightened city of Chicago. What does U of C “Professor” Obama think?
I smell a lawsuit in the making.Sorry,I can't get that worked up about this.Stupid...classless,yah! Of course the mailman has the right to be annoyed.But humiliated? Good God...when Occupy Wall Street was in overdrive and getting all that publicity I went down to check it out and the responses I got to several legitimate questions I put to a couple of participants would make a sailor blush...and a saint want to throttle the unwashed parasites in question.
I didn't sue.I wasn't even "humiliated".
The University will probably yank the fraternity’s charter.
Hard to imagine that stuff still going on in 2013.
If I were the company, I’d certainly go after whomever is responsible for making the call.
What ever happened to “Boy’s will be boy’s ?”
“Man up”
You want respect ?
Cry cry cry. That won’t work.
Rude ? yes, SO what........
Deal with it.
And guess what ?
When you take on and stand up to intimidating, rude, obnoxious, childish, bullies you get the respect you deserve.
There is no respect from running to some authority to solve your problems.
agree with every word, today people get insulted at every chance.
So frigging what, we are being spied on and insulted and called racist etc but that is OK when the media and the left does it
I’m a fraternity adviser. You have to really stay on them.
Does the University of Chicago get funds from the state? Yes.
Do they get money from the Federal government? Yes.
Are students’ educations in many cases funded in whole or in part by the state or the federal government? Yes.
Is the same true of tenured, other, and “assistant” professors as well as teaching assistants and graduate students? Yes.
Hillsdale College (NOT my Alma Mater) is a Private Institution. The University of Chicago is a bloated, crime-infested mess relying of all things on its shredded reputation as a center for graduate sociology studies.
