Colorado College has suspended and banned a student from campus for nearly two years in response to a comment intended as a joke on the anonymous social media application Yik ***.
In November 2015, Thaddeus Pryor sent an anonymous reply to the comment “#blackwomenmatter” on Yik ***. Pryor’s response read, “They matter, they’re just not hot.” On November 20, Colorado College found that Pryor’s post violated its “Abusive Behavior” and “Disruption of College Activities” policies and suspended him from the college until August 28, 2017. In the meantime, the college has banned Pryor from setting foot on campus and has forbidden him from taking classes at other institutions for academic credit. Pryor has appealed his suspension. http://tinyurl.com/p6goc5d

Reason: off topic
And yet the guy who threatened to shoot 16 white people and as many police as possible was not only released into the custody of his mother by the courts, he was also allowed to keep attending classes at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The double standard is unbelievable.

Perhaps that college should stop receiving state and federal money to truly become a private institution. They might also want to check the US Constitution. We don't live in a totalitarian form of government,...yet.

Quite obvious but we just don't "talk about it".
And since nothing is being done about it then it will only get worse.
I don't agree with the student's statement, because I've seen my fair share of beautiful women, of all skin colors and all walks of life, but I'll defend his right to say it!
First amendment does not apply. It's a private institution. Absent any state laws to the contrary, they are within their rights to do this. If you don't like it; don't go to school there.

In this case he cannot go to school anywhere for the next 2 years.
Is that fair ?

Say Black women are ugly...banned for 2 years
