Racist Facebook group student expelled

A student linked to a racist Facebook group has been expelled from North West University (NWU)
A student linked to a racist Facebook group has been expelled from North West University (NWU), a spokesperson said on Monday.
Louis Jacobs said a disciplinary hearing found the student guilty of impairing the university's good name.
"The committee made a ruling that the student be expelled from the university, after which his legal representative lodged an appeal."
Seven students at the North West University faced disciplinary action over the racist group "ek laaik nie 'n houtkop nie, sou what", which surfaced on the Facebook social network website recently.
The group's members had posted racially abusive words and comments on the site. It also featured a photograph of a white man holding a gun while posing over the trophy of a young black boy lying on the ground.
Jacobs said the students, who were all registered at the Potchefstroom campus, were charged because their conduct was detrimental or could have been detrimental to the good name, order, discipline or performance of the university.
Six of them were found not guilty. Jacobs said the disciplinary committee could find no evidence which indicated that they actively associated themselves with the group.
Referring to the expulsion of the one student, Jacobs said the university had certain rights regarding its expectations of student conduct.
"The disciplinary committee has found that the conduct of this student was a transgression of these rights and that his actions were detrimental, or had the potential of being detrimental to the good name of the university," he said.

thread_title: RACISM AT THE NORTH-WEST UNIVERSITY, SOUTH AFRICA

message: What a waste of faculty and law enforcement resources, persuing people for having open containers in halls! Here in the UK, the universities run bars on campus, the students union run bars on campus, people's rooms are considered their own private spaces and no one minds if you have beers in the communal fridges or stashes for parties in your rooms.
America needs to grow up, when it comes to alcohol, its like a nation of children being governed by some 18th century school mistress. I heard american colleges and universities dont even have mixed accomodation? they segregate them by sex.. lol, like WTF?
Also here in the UK, we have a policy where university campus is private property, the police have to be INVITED on, and that is only done if a serious crime like a robbery, rape, or a burglary has taken place. The police dont wander about looking for people drinking. Sure our age of consent is differant but who cares, theres bound to be people of legal age in the US residing in university accomodation + people can do what they want in their own accomodation, its not a public place. Its about time the US people started fighting for their constitutional rights not to have their private lives interfered with by the state.
:Perhaps.  But then, this is Wikipedia, not Wikidebate, so what's your point?  --Badger151 02:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I remember reading this on the Facebook page or this page at some point.  Stewart was a police officer who had a reputation at a high school (I think) and then it's the typical story of someone makes a group for it, some kid gets expelled or whatnot.  I don't remember the details and searching comes up almost completely devoid of results. theanphibian 04:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
