Mitch ain't effing around!

UT stated a similar rule about a month ago, for the time when students are back on campus.  At the time I thought, "yeah good luck with enforcing that" but I suppose it's possible, if it's isolated enough.

I think it's like the first day in prison -- kick one fraternity/coop's ass on the first day, to prove you mean business. 

Inside scoop is apparently "suspends" means "expelled" in this case. 

Supposedly it is enforced, but I'm not sure how. There are cameras at the toll booths near the border, and property ownership is public record.

Maybe that's how. But, I think it's just a way for the mayor to say she's "doing" something.

These efforts always struck me as a way of making problems a sort of "other." It happened in Florida with those road stops and in a few other states. 

Maybe there's some nominal effect. But it always felt like a way to pump up regionalism in a way that made people say "It's not MY fault." I live in a state that wasn't hit hard early, and all sorts of folks were saying, "The only cases are because of New Yorkers driving through." And now getting to a 12 percent positive test rate is a good day. Granted, huge parts of this thing have been adorned with "well it's not happening HERE, so that means we shouldn't have to change things," even though that singular snapshot moment isn't that meaningful.

It kind of reminds me of when Madison Halloweens got all sorts of out of control. And folks would say "That's not Madison people, it's Minnesotans and kids from the other UWs." And in truth, it was probably a mix, with more than enough locals involved. 

nationally new cases are dropping big time

I realize its still too high but at least its going in the right direction

OU kicked off the local chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity 3 or 4 years ago because there emerged a video of some of their members singing a racist song--not "The Eyes of Texas," I'll have you know--on a party bus headed to or from a party.
I don't imagine that was a violation of the law.  Just common sense and decency.  And university rules.

I remember that
I think they banned the frat from the University but I dont think they kicked the kids out of school
I may be wrong on this but thats what I remember

Really?  It wasn't The Eyes?  Thanks for letting us know.

It was actually THIS little gem, sung by douchebag OU fraternity members and their dates,  to the tune of "If You're Happy And You Know It"

It went like this:

"There will never be a nigg*r at SAE
There will never be a a nigg*r at SAE
You can hang them from a tree
But they'll never sign with me
There will never be a nigg*r at SAE"

So you know, thanks for the clarification, because that is really just absolutely reminiscent of The Eyes of Texas so we appreciate the clarification.

LOL
