Epilogue: Trump Win’s And Campus Insanity Acknowledgments Appendix: The Great College Swindle Notes Index FOREWORD I’ve had the grim pleasure in witnessing just how far American universities have devolved by speaking at many of them as part of my tastefully named and by no means offensive Dangerous Faggot tour. Scott Greer illustrates my controversial tour stop at DePaul University as part of his new book, No Campus for White Men, but I’d like to share another aspect of the story that I myself only learned after the event – it illustrates exactly what we are up against on campuses today. I had my hands full on stage. A male protester, perhaps the only one amongst the group, was blowing a whistle into the stage microphone to create a deafening cacophony, shouting deranged slogans at the audience, and threatening to punch my lights out. A female accomplice with the horrific fashion sense to wear a fanny pack in public was alternatively dancing, mumbling to anyone close by, and shaking her finger in my face. As Scott points out in the book, school administrators and police stood by passively taking in the spectacle. That was the first clue that they condoned the actions of the Black Lives Matter hooligans intent on shutting down my speech. Another bit of drama was related to me by one of my closest associates, who had a front-row seat to the insanity of the DePaul administration. The main body of protesters was comprised of black women who sat down at the foot of the stage and linked arms. I guess their goal was to block the police or university officials from walking up to the stage, but they needn’t have bothered, the authorities were on their side. One DePaul administrator in particular, a big oaf of a man in a purple shirt, was constantly pacing in front of this protest line. None of his attention was spent on the protestors, however, he was focusing on the crowd, which was growing upset and chanting for the protesters to be removed so the event could carry on. When a young doughy white woman left her seat and approached the picket line, the purple-shirted man leapt into action. He stood in her way with arms raised and said something to the effect of “No, no, no, you can’t come up here!” She petulantly replied “I’m with these sisters!” and he immediately got out of her way with a speed and grace one would think impossible for his imposing bulk. An extra large hole was made for the hefty young lady, and she locked arms with Black Lives Matter to prevent free speech at DePaul. The key part of this story is the administrator’s reaction when he learned the student wasn’t arguing against the protest, but rather joining it. It left me wondering what the hell was going on that DePaul would try to stop legitimate attendees of an event, but not protesters disrupting a speech. The primary reason I share this story is that the entire incident galvanized me to raise the bar for the second leg of the Dangerous Faggot tour. We rented a bus and plastered my face on the side, and created elaborate visual presentations for every tour stop in the second half of 2016. All of the delicate snowflakes triggered by the Dangerous Faggot tour can thank the DePaul Black Lives Matter children for raising my tour to new heights. And triggered they are – consider the hypersensitivity of the students at the University of Pittsburgh. Following my speech, the student government convened a meeting for students to “understand the hurt and pain” that my speech caused. “I felt I was in danger, and I felt so many people in that room were in danger,” one student moaned before demanding the university provide counselors for those who were “traumatized.” The student body president reportedly “teared up” after “hearing students’ experiences as a result of Milo Yiannopoulos.” There is no question the campus crybabies, popularly known as social justice warriors, look like fools to the general public. Even the Daily Show is making fun of them now. In a typically unfunny skit called “Outrage Court: Trigger Warnings” they opined: College kids should grow a pair. If our kids grow up thinking the world is safe spaces and trigger warnings, then, hell, how are we going to protect ourselves from Russia? Hell, how are we going to stand up to Jamaica? All they do is come in here triggering us with their damn reggae and their ganja and their jerk chicken. It is painfully clear that many schools are coddling students, more concerned with their feelings than the growth of their intellect. But the Left does not care about the feelings of the conservative students who sponsor me to speak and are consequently subjected to social ridicule and even physical threats. Nor do they care about the safety of the Duke Lacrosse team or fraternity members at the University of Virginia who faced death threats and had their house vandalized to make cheap political points. This is where Scott Greer’s excellent book, No Campus for White Men, shines a light on the real issues on campus. The problem is not just overgrown crybabies and helicopter parenting, but an extreme version of identity politics, which encourages students to demand power and privilege on the sole basis of their race, gender, or sexual orientation. The flipside is that they want to disenfranchise and humiliate everyone who is not part of their designated victim groups – especially straight, white men. Greer traces this theme back to the cultural Marxist Frankfurt School theoretician Herbert Marcuse’s call for “repressive tolerance,” according to which the views of the majority must be stamped out so that revolutionary minorities can take power. The arguments in No Campus for White Men will not sit well with liberal critics of campus culture like Bill Maher. They understand that blue- haired feminists screaming over a difference of opinion makes the Left look bad but will never be willing to confront the underlying premises of victim culture. In fact, they agree with it – they just want to seem snarky and intelligent instead of insane when they make their demands. Many conservatives do not want to address these problems as well. As usual, the cowardly “cuckservatives” desperately want to avoid any discussion of race or gender. But it’s also comforting for baby boomer and geriatric National Review subscribers to scoff at those damn kids instead of actually confronting the ideology that their generations created. Don’t get me wrong, we still need to make fun of the blue-haired feminists and SJWs. Crazy, obese protesters will always have a special place in my heart. But if we are going to defeat the Left – both on campus, and in America at large – we need to understand their goals and motivations. No Campus for White Men is the first book to truly do so. America has a long way to go to return universities to their rightful places as centers of learning, free speech, and controversial ideas. Scott Greer’s No Campus for White Men is a good step in this battle, and I am proud to consider him a compatriot in the battle for America’s higher education. – MILO YIANNOPOULOS, MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, DECEMBER 2016 INTRODUCTION American universities were once the cultivators of the nation’s brightest minds, the gateway to the middle class, and forums for the exchange of ideas and innovations. Now they can’t tolerate chalk marks in support of a certain Republican presidential candidate. In March 2016, students at Emory University found themselves the victims of “chalkings” proclaiming the oh-so horrifying slogan “Trump 2016.” This unbearable sight caused some at the Atlanta-based school to fret for their safety and condemn the chalky political speech as a form of racial intimidation. Because these students felt so threatened by fairly tame political speech, they demanded their university president condemn the act in the strongest terms possible.

  • Verb Voice in Media Narratives of Campus Sexual Assault
    Journal of Mason Graduate Research Volume 5 Number 2 Year 2018 © Author ISSN: 2327-0764 Pages: 108-127 Assault and Accusation Without Agents: Verb Voice in Media Narratives of Campus Sexual Assault RACHAEL GRAHAM LUSSOS & LOURDES FERNANDEZ George Mason University Previous studies of sexual assault have analyzed the connection between the narrative of events surrounding sexual assault allegations and the agency of the narrative’s characters, especially the assailant and the accuser. To contribute to this growing literature, we conducted a mixed methods word-level content analysis, testing whether the voice of verbs associated with the actions of the assailant and the accuser indicated an absence of agency. This study found that verbs associated with assailants were primarily written in passive voice and verbs associated with accusers were primarily written in active voice in both campus and non-campus sexual assault news reports. Implications for the research and practice of mass media reporting of sexual assault are discussed. Keywords: Agency, sexual assault, grammar, mixed methods INTRODUCTION News reports of sexual assault cases are frequently accused of engaging in victim blaming—assigning more responsibility for the assault to the victim than to the assailant. Victim blaming is visible at the macro level of news stories, such as in the construction of the narrative and the representation of the characters, or agents, in that narrative (Barnett, 2008, 2012; Worthington, 2005; 2008a, 2008b). Perhaps more subtly, victim blaming also appears at the micro level of a news story, in the choice of words and grammar of the sentences comprising the story. A common micro device associated with victim blaming is the use of passive voice when describing the assault.

  • How Public Universities React to Alt-Right Speakers By
    Towson University Office of Graduate Studies Responding to Hate: How Public Universities React to Alt-Right Speakers by Josh Guttman A thesis Presented to the faculty of Towson University Office of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Science in Communications Management Department of Communication Towson University Towson, Maryland 21252 (December, 2018) DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my mom and dad, who supported me and cheered me on when I needed it most. I love you both and I can’t thank you enough. I made it through the Paper Chase (1973). *Rocky (1976) music swells in the background* RESPONDING TO HATE ii RESPONDING TO HATE iii Abstract This study examined how public universities who have hosted alt-right speakers on campus protected their reputations while also fostering a free speech environment and keeping students safe. Due to the First Amendment policies of public universities, they have a greater obligation to provide alt-right speakers a platform. However, alt-right speaking events pose risks among the university community such as violence and vandalism. These risks could potentially damage the reputation of the university. Through utilizing Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) and gathering primary documents from the universities, this study showcases the effectiveness of university strategies in regards to balancing a first amendment while maintaining student safety. The results showed university strategies that were in-line with SCCT were more effective at maintaining their reputations and keeping students safe. Hosting events dedicated to university values and engaging in the community protected their reputations leading up to and during the alt-right speaking events.

    Pizzagate / Pedogate A No-nonsense Fact-filled reader Preface I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. —Trump Executive Order 13818, Dec. 20, 2017 Pizzagate means many things to many people, the angle of the lens may be different, but the focus zeros in on a common body of incontestable facts. The fruit of top researchers collected in this reader allows you to compare, correlate and derive a flexible synthesis to suit your needs. An era of wild contradiction is upon us in the press. The psychopathic rumblings that pass for political discourse bring the artform of infotainment to a golden blossoming. A bookstore display table featuring The Fixers; The Bottom-Feeders, Crooked Lawyers, Gossipmongers, and Porn Stars Who Created the 45th President versus Witch Hunt; The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History are both talking about the same man, someone who paid for his campaign out of his own pocket. There were no big donors from China and the traditional bank of puppeteers. This created a HUGE problem, one whose solution threatened the money holders and influence peddlers. New leadership and a presidential order that threw down the gauntlet, a state of emergency, seeded the storm clouds. The starting gun was fired, all systems were go, the race had begun. FISAs and covert operations sprang into action. The envelopes are being delivered, the career decisions are being made, should I move on or stay the course.

Keefe: Not All 'Fake News' Is Equal In examining how higher education ought to respond to ‘fake news’ and the landscape of the ‘post-truth’ world, it is imperative to distinguish between accidental, ignorant, or intentional factual inaccuracies. The motives of accidental, ignorant, or disinformation are not uniform and, as such, the responses by institutions of higher education must not be uniform either. These three forms of erroneous information are as old as literacy itself, but with increased literacy as well as increased access to forms of dissemination and publication, the dangers of untrue information have been magnified.

  • Rolling Stone Settles with Former U-Va
    Rolling Stone settles with former U-Va. dean in defamation case - The Washington Post Page 1 of 2 The Washington Post Education Rolling Stone settles with former U-Va. dean in defamation case By T. Rees Shapiro , Reporter Emma Brown , Reporter April 11, 2017 Rolling Stone has reached a confidential settlement with Nicole Eramo, a former University of Virginia associate dean who had sued the magazine alleging that it defamed her in a 2014 story about an alleged Search Jobs gang rape on campus, according to lawyers for both parties. The settlement brings an end to a lawsuit that had roiled the U-Va. community with a case study in the Featured Jobs practice and ethics of journalism. Business Development Executive Sparks Group “We are delighted that this dispute is now behind us, as it allows Nicole to move on and focus on doing Housing Specialist what she does best, which is supporting victims of sexual assault,” said Libby Locke, a lawyer for Eramo, Sparks Group in a statement Tuesday. Ip Docketing Specialist Rolling Stone called the settlement an “amicable resolution.” Legal E The magazine’s November 2014 story, “A Rape on Campus,” recounted the shocking story of a young woman’s gang rape at a U-Va. fraternity house — a story that was discredited after serious flaws were revealed. An investigation by The Washington Post showed that aspects of the account were not true. For example, no one in Phi Kappa Psi, the fraternity in question, matched the name or description that the young woman — known as Jackie — gave for the person who allegedly was the ringleader in her 2012 assault.

We were four of the signatories to the statement of twenty eight Harvard Law School professors, published in the Boston Globe on October 15, 2014, that criticized Harvard University’s newly adopted sexual harassment policy as “overwhelmingly stacked against the accused” and “in no way required by Title IX law or regulation.” We welcome the current opportunity to assess the response to campus sexual harassment, including sexual assault. In the past six years, under pressure from the previous Administration, many colleges and universities all over the country have put in place new rules defining sexual misconduct and new procedures for enforcing them. While the Administration’s goals were to provide better protections for women, and address the neglect that prevailed before this shift, the new policies and procedures have created problems of their own, many of them attributable to directives coming from the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR).

  • Jeremy Boggs Was Unable to Make It to the Presentation, So Ivey Glendon and Kara Mcclurken Wrote and Presented on June 25, 2018
    Note: Jeremy Boggs was unable to make it to the presentation, so Ivey Glendon and Kara McClurken wrote and presented on June 25, 2018. 1 Thank you for having us here today to discuss our experiences with rapid, emergency based digital collecting and beginning a conversation about how to build a national toolkit for this type of work. 2 We’d like to give you a sense of where we are going today. We’ll briefly talk about what emergency is, outline three major events at the University of Virginia, share what we’ve learned about the organizational expertise needed for rapid response, and then we want to have an open conversation about building a nationally available resource for emergency digital collecting. 3 Before we begin, we wish to note that the events we describe at the University of Virginia involve concepts that are disturbing. While we will not describe these concepts in depth, they form the ideological basis for two of the crisis-related events at the University of Virginia 4 What do we mean by crisis? The experiences we’ll share with you today have some common threads. In short, crisis is unplanned, doesn’t care about your schedule, and can be naturally occurring or human-made. Notably, as we have learned in our experience, crisis can have vague boundaries – where does it begin and end? 5 The University of Virginia has been the site of three high-profile events since 2012. We’ll briefly describe the events here, with most of our focus being on the events from last summer.

  • A Case for Rape – Part A
    A Case For Rape – Part A (This case was prepared by University of Georgia journalism student Khadija Dukes for JOUR 5170, Advanced Studies in Journalism, based on secondary sources cited below.) On November 19, 2014, Rolling Stone published an investigative piece about a University of Virginia student who was raped by seven men at a fraternity party her freshman year. To get the story, Sabrina Rubin Erdely interviewed “Jackie,” the alleged rape victim, but failed to interview those accused of raping her as a promise to Jackie, who feared retaliation. Her friends who saw her immediately after the incident also were not interviewed. Erdely and the Rolling Stone editors and fact-checkers saw no reason to question Jackie’s credibility and they claim that they did reach out to the local and national branches of Phi Kappa Psi for comment. Discussion: At first glance, does anything appear unethical about this investigation to you? Do you find it problematic that Erdely did not reach out to the accused fraternity members? Do you think Erdely’s promise to Jackie affects her credibility? Is it an act of journalistic courage to avoid talking to the accused in order to protect a rape victim from possible retaliation? A Case For Rape – Part B Following the accusations, Teresa Sullivan, the University of Virginia’s president, suspended all Greek organizations until January 9. Sullivan also asked the Charlottesville Police Department to start an investigation into Jackie’s rape. Phi Kappa Psi’s national leadership then proceeded to suspend the activities of the University of Virginia’s Phi Kappa Psi chapter.

Brake* I. INTRODUCTION The framingof this symposium, campus v. courts, captures the heart of the controversy over the federal government's heightened enforcement pressure on colleges and universities to respond more forcefully to campus sexual assault. 1 Critics of the federal intrusion into campus disciplinary processes have challenged the legitimacy of the federal government's ac­ tions and the fairness of campus justice systems for handling matters that the critics argue should be handled by courts, presumably in the criminal justice system.2 The controversy has generated a pitched debate over the procedural requirements of the regime endorsed by the United States De­ partment of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in its 2011 guidance document styled as a "Dear Colleague" letter (DCL) to educational institu­ tions.3 The DCL clarified what the agency expected of educational institu­ tions in their grievance procedures for handling allegations of sexual vio­ lence, and notified colleges and universities that the agency will apply these requirements in its administrative enforcement actions.4 No issue has been more contentious in the debate over OCR's require­ ments than the agency's directive to schools to use preponderance of the evidence (POE) as the standard of proof for adjudicating sexual violence allegations.5 Detractors of the 2011 DCL have decried the unfairness of forcing campuses to brand students as sexual offenders based on a mere preponderance of the evidence, with potential long-term consequences to * Professor of Law.
