Also: Judge orders Syracuse to re-enroll fraternity students who were punished for satirical videos.
As much as it would like to be, Syracuse University is not above the law.
A New York State judge ordered the private university to re-enroll “at least two” students who were punished for their participation in privately made videos of satirical skits at a Theta Tau gathering, The Daily Orange reports.
The four fraternity pledges and one brother filed federal suit against Syracuse in April, claiming it violated its own rules and deprived them due process in punishing them for leaked “roast” videos that did not represent their own views.
Remember, if you are appalled by this sort of thing, it’s because you’re “anti-intellectual.”
