Just shut Smith College down and distribute its endowment to its workers. Pathetic.
Institutions like Smith are making the world a far worse place. Shut it down.
And then find every prep school and every private school that fed students to Smith and shut them down too.
Just amazing privilege at work. The help tells you you can't eat here, you just push right through. 
The purpose of elite institutions is to reproduce the ruling class and teach the budding leaders ever more sophisticated ways to brutalize and control those they rule over. Smith is excelling.
A janitor sees a person in an area that is supposed to be off limits. He's told not to approach students -- god forbid -- but to call security in such cases.
She is politely told that she's not supposed to be eating in this closed-off area. Then comes the bombshell: Smith students use Facebook?
Was the lounge area closed or not? Earlier we learned it was closed. Now we learn this student had special access to it and every other place on campus, closed or not?
Anyway, the janitor and the campus cop are obviously canceled. Next in line is Jackie Blair. Her crime:
No seriously:
How is this not libel?
There was a time, not so long ago, that campus activists organized on behalf of janitors and food service workers. Now they are literally organizing walkouts against them.
so they do an investigation. The report finds no evidence to support the original accusation, and also no evidence to support the students claim that what she suffered was part of a pattern. None. No apology is made.
As you'd expect, the ACLU got involved.
As you might not expect, the ACLU sided against the workers, and fabricated a bizarre rationale. I'm not aware of Jackie Blair ever saying that the threats and attacks she got in the mail and on the phone were *worse* than racism

Seriously, shut Smith down
Read the full story. This is quite courageous reporting. NYT slack must be on fire right now. nytimes.com/2021/02/24/us/…
Oh, and last thing: if you're a professor at Smith, grow a spine. Where's your solidarity? I don't expect anything better from administrators, but professors have no excuse. You know what happened is wrong, yet you sit there and let Jackie Blair take it alone.
