> “When it was happening to black students, it was a matter of free speech,” he said. “Now that it’s happening to white, Jewish students, it’s something else. There seems to be no conflation of hate speech and free speech now.”
While I disagree with the calls to remove signs of our past like the ridiculous calls "for the removal of President Woodrow Wilson’s name from the campus because of his racist positions", I think that Asanni York has a point that free speech is free speech. The race/gender/whatever of the accused should not matter.
I'd like to draw attention to the "white only" sign on a bathroom door in SUNY. Because it was a black female who did it, it was called art. Had it been a white male, it would have been called hate crime. We can clearly do better than this.
As far as unauthorized use of campus resources, I think the university would be better served by suing AT&T for failing to adequately protect its network.

Or maybe universities and organizations could teach their employees to handle network security better. I don't think this is grounds for a criminal case.
Oh, on what I hope is an unrelated note we should use this opportunity to voice our dissent against the CFAA and judicial reform especially when it comes to selectively overzealous prosecution.
