A Perfect University Response To Offensive Student Speech
This, per Popehat, came in the wake of student body president Malachi Rudololph's "obnoxious series of tweets about 'Chinese people.'"

And Popehat posts:

What's somewhat remarkable is the response of the Ball State administration:

The university will not be taking any disciplinary action regarding Randolph.

"His remarks are not a violation of any university policy or law," said Tony Proudfoot, a university spokesperson. "He is likely to find, however, that such remarks do have unintended social consequences beyond formal actions from the university."

Exactly.

As Popehat continues about Randolf's tweets:

They were protected by the First Amendment. It's pitch-perfect for the administration to note that such dipshittery is not punished by the university, but addressed by the marketplace of ideas.

There should be more of this -- because even asshole-ish speech is protected by the First Amendment, and because the fine people at FIRE (the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) could probably use a vacation.

(Syracuse University needs to go to Ball State and take notes.)
