I wonder if he was qualified for admittance to the college, or was he given a’minority’ preference...it strikes me that he was in over his head with the course load

I'm just amazed that he wasn't KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL! This punk had the cops called on him 5 times in 2 years for events ranging from stalking to setting a fire in his dorm! He was insubordinate to his professors (not answering when he was being addressed in class) and even threatening to the point that almost an entire class of 70 students skipped class out of fear for this guy.

He was such a disruption that one professor had him removed from her class prompting her collegue to tutor him for an entire semester! When I was in school, the professors would certainly help you, but it was essentially "sink or swim." No prof would go to those lengths for an anti-social weirdo to make sure he graduated with a college degree.

Back when I was in school, it took a lot less to get expelled.

Thank you! I can’t understand either, why this puke wasn’t expelled well before this event! How tolerant do WE have to be for goodness sake!

I agree with so much of what you posted. The fact that he was insubordinate to his professors (not answering when addressed in class, etc.) and many of his fellow classmates refused to attend class because of him boggles my mind. When I was in college, the Prof was the authority in the class - one answered him/her when addressed and anything like insubordination by the students wasn’t dealt with kindly. And this was back in the 80’s, not so long ago. I was in grad school in 89 and a couple of students were chatting during the class and the Prof threw them out after warning them once.

I can’t understand why they coddled him so much (from what I read and heard, he was coddled an often lot for an adult)especially in college. College must have changed drastically since I was a student.
