College students and college professors have often said or
done stupid/silly things in public. Sometimes it gets written off as academic
freedom, freedom of speech, or just plain old college antics. However, with
today’s technology, and peoples proclivity to film and broadcast things instantly,
everyone must beware of the forever video.
Case in point:
“Didn't Mean to Offend...”
“An eight-minute segment
apparently captured by a student (and embedded below) contained remarks that
university administrators say crossed the line between free speech and
disrespect, and may have “negatively affected the learning environment.””
Read the whole thing here: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/09/06/michigan-state-suspends-professor-teaching-following-anti-republican-remarks
Not sure what he was trying to
teach, but I know at least one student learned to have their video camera at the
ready.
All I can say about this next one
is: really?
“Saint Mary's
University frosh chant cheers underage sex”
“Saint Mary’s University in
Halifax is promising disciplinary action after a frosh week chant glorifying
underage sex with girls without consent was posted online”.“A 15-second video posted to Instagram on Monday shows orientation week leaders leading a cheer about the sexual preferences of Saint Mary University men”.

It is amazing what can and will end up on YouTube, so do not accidently increase the supply.
