McAdoo is mixed, likely with white. If so, is she not white too?

Probably won't cause much damage really.

There is a certain amount of peace to be kept in maintaining one of the truly important parts of KU.

College basketball.

Don't play dumb, nobody is buying that getting a pass for offensive speech is diversity neutral.
the repercussions to her should be the same.

I didn't say the repercussions WERE being done equally. I said they're SUPPOSED to be done equally.

in her case, it's not expelling her or any such nonsense. She was elected, for some odd reason (looks like she played some political hardball against 1 opponent at least), and so the electorate should decide whether she remains.

She didn't break a law.

Her role in the meaningless student body is frankly moot and breaking a law has nothing really to do with it.

I think that she should get some counseling to deal with how her own problems are manifesting as hate.

For now you can tell she's been bouncing around the walls of the echo chamber of academia enjoying the immunity of her magical shield of race and gender....all the while poisoning herself.

If I fell asleep at a meeting, my employer would ask about my health etc. and not draw a conclusion that I hate ABC corporation or black people etc.

Rebranding dozing off as "racist" in order to push for dismissal is the core point here.

Where have you been the 30-40 years? There is NO FREE SPEECH on college campuses. Try and use the "N" word and see how long before you are expelled. Wear a t-shirt that says "gay sex is a sin" and see how long before you are expelled. Both of these have actually happened

Yes, she should be expelled immediately for for her call to violence, which is what the phrase, "Death to America" is.

Termination might be appropriate if there have been previous issues. There is nothing abnormal about that. I disagree with hate crime charges though.
