8:18 a.m. PDT: Months ago, I read a strange story about a university president covering up the rape and murder of a student in her dorm room. Why would he do such a thing? I wondered. Was he trying to prevent widespread panic? Did he lie about the crime because the murderer was black and the victim white?
The woman’s own parents thought she may have died from an aneurysm, then they heard she’d died of asphyxiation. They didn’t know that she’d been found lying on the floor with a pillow over her head or that her underwear had been removed. (Source)
Despite the “foul” circumstances of the woman’s death, the university sent out an e-mail assuring students that no foul play was suspected. How was that possible?
An idiot-student named Orange Taylor was arrested and charged with killing the woman. He was living off-campus, having been barred from living on campus because of burglary and assault incidents. (10 to 1 he was an “affirmative action” student, but that’s another topic for another post.)
Whatever the university president’s reasons were for covering up the crime, he violated something called the Clery Act, which required him to report the crime to the students. Yesterday, the Eastern Michigan University Board of Regents fired John Fallon. The case had been investigated by the Department of Education and an “independent law firm.” (Source)
Good riddance to bad PC rubbish. And I hope the thug gets the chair, or whatever they have in Michigan.
