Just yesterday, I was walking home from dinner when a newscaster and her cameraman approached me. They asked me whether or not I could share my thoughts, and I told them that while I couldn't be filmed because of NCAA regulations, I would love to share my opinions vocally. The reporter asked me to speak about the student who was recently suspended for saying racist and terrifying things on Facebook. This interaction could've been awkward, had I agreed with the University's decision to only suspend the student and not expel him. However, I was very proud of my response, and I think the fact that it came from a white blonde female made it even more powerful: The University as well as Tuscaloosa Police should have made decided on more immediate and harsh consequences for this student's actions. These was not a new occurrence, or even a rare one, and something has to change.
