Students Vote with Feet, Donors with Dollars
Accuracy in Academia ^ | August 8, 2017 | Malcolm A. Kline

When a Trinity College professor drew national outrage for his “Let them all ******* die” Facebook status update about white people, his college stood by its man. Not all students and donors were similarly inclined.

"Donors have pulled back and incoming students have decided to go elsewhere in response to the firestorm that erupted from a professor's racially-charged Facebook posts, Trinity College’s president said Monday," Russell Blair wrote in The Hartford Courant on August 1, 2017. "Joanne Berger-Sweeney said 16 incoming students have withdrawn and past donors have chosen not to contribute to the school this year, resulting in about a $200,000 loss in donations."

"Both groups specifically cited the national uproar surrounding Professor Johnny Eric Williams’ posts, she said."

Just saying no to universities can also be productive.

Now just think of the ones that didn’t bother to say why

They “just say NO”

And it won’t end this year. Not as long as you keep that underqualified, racist p**** on staff

If there is one like this goofball. . .there are more of them on staff. A thorough investigation of the administration will probably show more of the same. It is nice to know that there were at least 7 students and some donors with some intelligence, common sense and principles.

So Trinity, your Professor Seditious Racist is worth more to you than your lost enrollment and 200k? LOL Fools. May you close your doors—quickly.

If you were hiring for a large business would you want anything to do with an Evergreen College grad? Me either.

so well do I recall Eric Cantor saying, “You just can’t say no all the time.” In the words of a famous guy, “Yes you can!”

Good. This should be happening across the nation.

Talk about spin! As if it was the uproar that was the problem and not the hateful and offensive posts themselves.

Same thing happened at Missouri when the black liars stole the media stage, the media took the lies viral, and black lies were turned into truth. Same thing happened in Ferguson Missouri when the career criminal mr. brown, attacked a police officer. When it comes to the African narrative, lies sell at the same rate as truth.
