     A student at the University of Tulsa was banned from campus for a year?\u00a0 What prompted the university to ban this student?\u00a0 An entirely different person criticized<\/a> people at the university.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

     Despite being innocent of anything<\/em>, the university declared that the student “not ‘avoid responsibility’ because someone else was responsible for the posts”.\u00a0 Further:<\/p>\n

\n

“The sanctions included suspending his participation in certain courses and activities and even barring him from speaking about certain individuals.<\/p>\n

“…<\/p>\n

“Less than two months before [the student] Barnett was set to graduate, [Senior Vice Provost Winona] Tanaka not only suspended him until at least 2016 but also permanently banned him from receiving a degree in his major even upon his re-enrollment.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Surprisingly, the person whose Facebook comments cause Barnett to be punished was his male<\/em> legal spouse.\u00a0 It shouldn’t come as any surprise when even anti-gay bully<\/a> icons like Dan Savage can be harassed and attacked.<\/p>\n

     Unsurprisingly, the university is threatening<\/a> the student newspaper for daring to… report the facts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

     Do not fool yourself that colleges are only opposed to “cishet” male White X-tians.\u00a0 Colleges are quite willing to discriminate against Asians<\/a>, and now it is clear that not even being a “married” same-sex couple is protection against the machinations of insane administrators.<\/p>\n

     As far as the gatekeepers of academia are concerned, you will be punished if they find it useful, even if you are innocent.<\/p>\n
