I came up with a better idea. they should not be expelled. if the football players were on scholarship, their scholarships should be taken away. they can stay in school, and play football, but they should have to pay their own tuition.
Given the track record of the conservative outrage machine when reporting on this matter, I'm going to go ahead and assume that no one called for any white faculty members to be fired (except for the university president, who isn't a normal faculty member).
Wanting the school to hire more (perfectly well-qualified) black people isn't the same thing as wanting to fire innocent people.
No surprise. President tucked his tail between his legs and let the terrorists win and they think they can do whatever they want now. Pathetic. Time to call in the NG and put an end to this ****.

They want 10% black staff and faculty. (It's like #3 or #4 on the group 1950's list of demands)
Student body is 7% black.
Staff is currently 7% black.
Faculty is currently 3.5% black
They want it done by 2017-18 so only possible via firings.
15% of the faculty is Asian, whites have < faculty than student % too.
So, you don't have to get rid of whites but you're going to need to put a major hiring freeze on Asians and fire a bunch to meet their deadline.
Now that you are more informed on their actual demands and the statistics what do you think?
Should these quota apply to sports scholarships and the football team too? If not why?
