Sooo he'll probably be expelled, right? Or will UNC be all PC and let him stay because he's gay and they don't want to offend anyone.
"Dear Carolina Students, Faculty and Staff:
Our Department of Public Safety has been investigating an aggravated
assault that appears to have been motivated by the sexual orientation of
a male student, who was treated at Campus Health Services for burn
injuries. The incident, reported to police on April 5, occurred on the
foot bridge between Craige Residence Hall and the intersection of Ridge
Road and Manning Drive.
As a University community, we condemn this act of violence. Our
Department of Public Safety will bring the strongest possible charges
against the
attacker.
Based on the available evidence to date, the University plans to report
this incident as a hate crime to the federal government. We're also
mindful of a recently adopted UNC system policy that deplores unlawful
harassment leading to a hostile environment that is based upon personal
characteristics including sexual orientation, gender, gender identity,
race, color, religion, national origin, disability or veteran status.
Everyone in our community has the right to a safe, inclusive and welcome
living and learning environment. And all of us have a responsibility to
stand against acts of violence, harassment, bullying and intimidation
and to treat each other with civility and respect.
Campus advocates for our LGBTQ community are asking questions about the
University's response to this incident. As I explained in my message to
the campus last week about the incident in Morrison Residence Hall, the
University is now reviewing the notification protocols and procedures we
use to inform the campus about crime reports or dangerous situations.
This most recent incident will be considered in those conversations,too.
Sincerely,
Holden Thorp"
I'm not sure what will actually happen to the kid but considering they were going to report to this to the FBI and that the administration received such pressure from the LGBTQ community, he should get the maximum punishment. Not cool to joke around like that.
