University of Michigan finally goes colour-blind (?)

The University of Michigan has long been one of America's most colour-conscious campuses. Both the Supreme Court and a State constitutional amendment were needed to stop them discriminating between blacks and whites. Have they finally learnt their lesson? Not really. The events below show clearly that their agenda is still a fanatically racist one. Post below excerpted from Discriminations. See the original for links

In this long struggle the official student newspaper, The Michigan Daily, has rarely if ever encountered any "color-conscious" program or activity that it opposed. Now, finally, it appears to have found one

Man mugged at gunpoint by campus
DPS issued crime alert to warn suspects
By Emily Barton, Daily News Editor

The Department of Public Safety issued a crime alert Saturday after an Ann Arbor resident was mugged at gunpoint near campus because the suspects are at large and potentially dangerous.....

The victim told police that the men were of average build, about six feet tall and wearing black hooded sweatshirts with the hoods up.

Now, here is a report of the same incident in the conservative Michigan Review:

The Michigan Daily goes colorblind!

After years of trolling for a racially-sensitive admissions process, the Michigan Daily has seemingly come to the realization that race just isn't that important - at least when it comes to armed robberies near campus.

An Ann Arbor resident was robbed at gunpoint near the intersection of Lincoln and Hill. The suspects fled, and are described by police to be at large and potentially dangerous. According to the Daily, the suspects were:

"of average build, about six feet tall and wearing black hooded sweatshirts with the hoods up."

According to DPS [Department of Public Safety] however, the suspects were:

"#1: Black male, 6'2", medium build and clean-shaven, wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt with hood up and dark pants.

#2: Black male, 6'0", medium build, wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt with hood up."

The Michigan Daily - where skin color is central to college admissions, but not relevant to armed robberies.

Look, we all know that criminals come in all shapes and colors. And if these suspects had been apprehended, I don't have a problem with the Daily withholding their race. But if there are two gun-toting dudes prancing around campus, robbing people two blocks away from East Quad (the home of Summer Orientation) and the University's own Department of Public Safety issues a crime alert, for the love of God, can't the Michigan Daily put the racial agenda on hold for two seconds.

Apparently not.





Disgrace at another Michigan university

We read:

School officials on Monday fired Eastern Michigan University President Jim Fallon, and accepted the separations of the college's Department of Public Safety Chief Cindy Hall, and James Vick, vice president of student affairs, months after top school officials were accused of covering up the rape and slaying of a student by publicly ruling out foul play, school officials said.

Eastern Michigan University's Board of Regents confirmed Fallon's Sunday evening firing today before announcing they also were accepting the separations of Hall and Vick. EMU Board of Regents Chairman Thomas Sidlik also said Monday that the board would put a letter of discipline in the file of university legal counsel Kenneth McKanders. In addition, the board appointed Provost Donald Loppnow as executive vice president. In that dual role, Loppnow will serve as the school's chief executive until an interim president is selected.

The Eastern Michigan University Board of Regents voted unanimously, by telephone, to fire President John Fallon. His termination -- two years into a 5-year contract -- comes on the heels of a report that blasted EMU officials for their handling of a student's death in December. The key findings in an 18-page U.S. Department of Education report said the school failed to report in a timely manner such crimes as rape, alcohol, drug and weapons violations.

The report came following an investigation of how the university responded to the death in December of Laura Dickinson, 22, of Hastings. The U.S. Department of Education report said the university failed to alert the public of the rape and killing of Laura Dickinson, and that it violated federal law by underreporting and misreporting other crimes on campus since 2003.

It was roughly 10 weeks before EMU announced that there may have been foul play in Dickinson's death on Dec. 15. A fellow student, Orange Taylor III, 20, of Southfield, had been arrested and charged. His trial is set to begin in October.

Orange Taylor is black. See pic below. He has a history of arrests for drugs and break-ins on campus, and was kicked off campus -- but allowed to remain a student -- two months before Laura's death. Cameras filmed Taylor sneaking into the dormitory behind another student, a practice called "tailgating." The cameras caught him leaving more than an hour and a half later, one of Laura's gift bags in hand. Sometime during those roughly 90 minutes, he killed her, prosecutors say. Even as investigators zeroed in on Taylor as a suspect, after they interviewed him in January and after his DNA was found in the room, EMU insisted there was no foul play. Not until Taylor was arrested, 10 weeks after her body was found, did the university acknowledge Laura had been killed.

Covering up black crime seems to be a deep-seated compulsion in Michigan universities. There is probably a very popular course in most of them called "Deceit, deception and lying 101".

It's a strange compulsion. Do they really think that Americans are not aware that 9 out of 10 crimes of violence in America are committed by blacks? Who do they think they are fooling? Abetting crime out of such a compulsion really does suggest that they are seriously deranged.

The victim was not too good either. She was a "happy hippie" who did not even lock her door. She no doubt heartily agreed with her university's race policies.






College jocks rape unconscious woman

After the Duke Lacrosse player scandal we can expect to see this in all the media, can't we? Not likely! The reason why is at the foot of the post: Photos of the accused

Prosecutors call it rape at a drunken party which was caught on cell phone video. They have charged University of Minnesota cornerback Dominic Jones with third-degree criminal sexual conduct. However, WCCO-TV has confirmed that another U of M football player who'd been kicked off the team actually organized the party. Robert McField had been convicted of two armed robberies but was somehow still living in campus housing the night of the attack. On Monday, Jones was charged with sexually assaulting an unconscious woman.

The woman's blood-alcohol level was estimated at least 0.30 percent by a doctor who reviewed police reports and witness statements, according to the criminal complaint. Stephen Smith, the doctor, based his estimate on her size and weight and descriptions of the amount of alcohol consumed.

A friend of Jones had taken a video of part of the assault on his cell phone at the apartment that night. The file was deleted, but forensic experts examining the phone were able to recover a portion of the deleted file. The female in the video was unresponsive and was identified as the victim. The male in the video was identified as Jones.

Prosecutors said Jones was involved in an incident at the University Village apartments late on the night of April 3 or early April 4. On April 6, a woman told police she was raped in the University Village complex. The woman was taken to a local hospital and evidence was collected.

"It's amazing what the forensics can do to reconstruct that. That cell phone video ... A picture is worth 1,000 words, and that video reflects what happened, at least at that point in time," said Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman. "The charges represent a significant next step in this case. The charge is a serious one."

For greatest efficiency, lowest cost and maximum choice, ALL schools should be privately owned and run -- with government-paid vouchers for the poor and minimal regulation.

The NEA and similar unions worldwide believe that children should be thoroughly indoctrinated with Green/Left, feminist/homosexual ideology but the "3 R's" are something that kids should just be allowed to "discover"
