BillsBeliever Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 While I haven’t been a board member on this site for much over a few months, I am interested in why SLU continually contradicts inself in these situations. For a university such as SLU to say they are living the Catholic teachings of forgiveness and the liberal principles the county subscribes to these days. I am interested in knowing why a university such as SLU that is way left in there teachings is railroading these 4 athletes? Please someone talk some sense into me how this can be.

TRN Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 It’s a Jesuit institution in name only. Just think of SLU as another university run by academics that talk a big game but inevitably are a bunch of elitists out of touch with the real world.

DeSmetBilliken Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Cynical answer: they need the enrollment numbers. If the gossip at the high school parents meetings turns to suggestions that so and so's daughter had some encounter with a black basketball player, which obviously only happened because he did something wrong to make her do it, and SLU did nothing about it, people won't send their daughters to school there. If SLU can't draw from the white suburban girl market, they're toast. On the contrary, news that SLU doesn't treat black students fairly won't make much of a difference from an enrollment aspect. It could trigger a federal investigation, but they'll be A-ok on enrollment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRN Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 SLU just killed a great resource for enrollment, alumni. I have a 13 year old daughter, why would I send her to a university that allowed “sexual predators” to remain on campus for 4 months after their allegations. I have a 10 year old son, why would I send him to a school where he can get laid by a girl and then suspended because she feels bad after the fact. It’s a joke of a school. Kids do dumb things and regret it after the fact all over the country. Only at SLU does the admin nuke it’s flagship sport and money maker, while coming off as racist. Well done Fred you moron. waldo027, majerus mojo, BillsBeliever and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsBeliever Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Fred Pestello has no buisness being the leader of the college. 0 buisness experience. He should be a professor in gender studies or philosophy if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

615Billiken Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 The handling of S2, in conjunction with the university dragging its feet in its acknowledgement that slaves were used to build the university should be enough to brand this administration as racist.
