Harrier doesn't know if that is permanent or not - he used the term suspended because he assumed that they can appeal the action, especially since they were ostensibly kicked out for not talking to the cops, as is their constitutional right.
In California, university police are full fledged law enforcement officers, whom can use anything one says against you in a court of law.
Harrier doesn't know about the cops on the University of Mississippi campus, but he was reasoning from that perspective.
I believe at this point they have been kicked out of the fraternity for failing to respond to the university, they will have to fight through the boys lawyers to be kicked out of school.
I don't put too much stock in frat boy collegiate behaviour. Lord knows I acted a fool in college, even though I wouldn't have done something as stupid as this.
If you're Ole Miss, you've gotta send these dudes packing. But leave it at that.

Those frat boys got what they deserved. They deserved to be kicked out. There is no place for that in any learning institution.
I was never in a fraternity. I was never a fan of the frat scene. I will admit to doing some very stupid things in college. However, I never would stoop that low as to pull a stunt that those frat boys did. It's an ugly thing to do.

Yep. It went way too far. UM has to be extra sensitive given their history.
Not condoning what some idiots (especially Sig Ep idiots) did, but I find it ironic that universities, once allegedly places where young minds were free to learn and express themselves even in radical ways, are now Orwellian truth ministries and thought prisons of political correctness.

Not really, because even in a university, there has to be standards.

Sorry, that dog won't hunt. Universities have led the way in categorizing Christian belief as hate speech and thought crime. You have to standards if you think in a way the university dislikes, and no standards at all if you think in a way they do like. That, my good man, is the tyranny of arbitrary rules, which is ironic in the one place everyone traditionally views as the most intellectually free framework we have left.
Explain "standards" on the campus when the typical festivities around the Vagina Monologues include pornography fliers all over campus and their famous baked/dessert goods sold from whatever the campus calls their women's resource center. Explain "standards" when Christian students groups are forced to accept non-Christians into the group to maintain university recognition, but non-Christian groups can remain exclusive based on any number of random criteria? Explain "standards" when conservative or libertarian speakers get shouted down by student protests, with no students being disciplined ever, while any attempt at protesting vs liberal approved causes (re: GW anti-muslim hoax) results in swift, misguided persecution?
Universities are where liberals go to learn totalitarianism, particularly the purging of thought and imagery that does not toe the party line of Dear Leader. And that to me is ironic, given the place universities are supposed to hold where free thought, expression and speech are supposed to be concerned.
I still think racism is idiotic, but idiotic thought and action from college students is as shocking as water being wet. It isn't hate crime, or really crime at all, unless you have that totalitarian viewpoint where all things that deviate from that which is approved by MiniTrue is a crime.
Great, they bounced some morons from their midst. But don't tell me for one instant that universities are anything more than progressive indoctrination centers anymore, because there's simply too much evidence to the contrary.
While I dont condone their actions, this is hardly a crime.
Just a stupid a** prank.
