The WP account of this story claims that the student in question "will not face student judicial action", but Michelle Malkin's account from yesterday states "The individual will now face student judicial action and a determination will be made as to whether District of Columbia and/or federal laws were violated".

So what will happen? Will this student face student judicial action or not?

The WP account doesn’t name the perp either. Her name is Sarah Marshak.

"Will this student face student judicial action or not"

The story doesn't reveal whether of not the student belongs to a protected class so it's impossible to know.

It takes a real special kind of person to assault themselves with a swastika...

Daily Colonial names her, says the GW-Hatchet does too.

http://www.dailycolonial.com/go.dc?p=3&s=4660

Daily Colonial also says she's being scrutinized to see if she broke Distict or Federal law. How about filing a FALSE police report for starters?

This is the second fake incident of racism at GWU recently. Adam "Elvis" Kokesh and accomplices faked a racist flyer and blamed the YAF Chapter on campus.

LOL. Yes, whatever happened to that story? Wasn’t there supposed to be video surveillance? That’s the last I heard...

In an interview with The Hatchet Monday evening, Marshak, said she only drew the final three of six swastikas on her door in an attempt to highlight what she characterized as GW’s inaction. Only hours earlier, Marshak categorically denied the charges.

That's why you tell her that you have video of her drawing the last swastika. Then, when she cops to the only the last one, you tell her that you have video of her drawing the last two swastikas... ;)

Such hoaxes are bigoted and hateful, and sadly our society shows far too much tolerance for them. We ought to view fake-victims with the same disgust we view real perpetrators of such actions.

We ought also to recognize the real perpetrators of yesterday tended to be Democrats, just as the fake victims of today. The Democrats were the party dehumanizing bigotry during slavery, the party of KKK bigotry in the old south, and the party of PC hyper-victim-hood bigotry today.

Swatiskas are out, nooses are in.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to that noose at Columbia, and the security tape which allegedly filmed the person who hung it?

Sarah Marshak? hmmm...

I wonder if she is related to Megan Marshak?

Name sound familiar?

I agree.

These types of stunts do a lot of damage and create needless fear and paranoia. I think the effects of this would be particularly intense on a college campus, which tends to have a more closed and tight knit atmosphere than the non-campus community.

This is a hate crime against white people. You know that she was trying to make a statement that white people are prejudiced.

Nice to know that she’ll get off scot free...

Yep. That's what "consciousness-raising" actually means in English.

“... different student was connected with drawing white-power epithets and symbols in New Hall last week. That student faces the similar possibility of legal action beyond the university, and has been barred from campus, the university said.”

But there remains a question (according to the ever-accurate WaPo) of this student’s facing a campus judicial review?

I don’t really think one is that much worse than the other so why isn’t she barred from campus ? Not to mention, she needs a good shrink. They both do.

She did. They are called hate crime statutes and she should be prosecuted under them.
